A little bit about me and a lot about the things we do.

Saskatchewan Has It Right

For most of our lives we lived in Ontario and it was normal to "spring ahead" and "fall back" each year. It meant that you lose an hour in the Spring and gained it back in the Fall.  It really never made sense to me.  It definitely knocked your internal clock out of whack for a week or so and especially so when you had little ones.

Then we moved to Saskatchewan.  No changing clocks there and it made sense.  It made me wonder why the rest of the country didn't join in with the idea.  So for six years we only had to change our clocks after a power outage or when we travelled.
Then last year we moved to Alberta.  This province is not a rebel province like Saskatchewan.  They do the change of the clock thing. So on Saturday night I will lose an hour sleep and take an extra hour to change all the clocks.  
 After living for six years without losing or gaining that hour it makes even more sense to set your clocks and leave them there.  Saskatchewan, you've got it right!
