Daylight Savings Time

We had to get up one hour earlier than usual this morning. we always get up early, when Paula work night, so we can greet her properly when she returns home. Since Sweden (like most of Europe) turned to Daylight savings time tonight, we had to get up earlier. The clocks were turned forward one hour. The daylight is thus "saved" on the morning hours, that is, there is less daylight in the morning. Instead, there is an extra hour of light in the evening, so you can save on artificial light in the evening. If you ask me, this is silly, but then again, a human came up with this concept. Dogs are more aligned with nature, we would never think of imposing Daylight savings time on anybody. If we want more hours with natural light, we just get up earlier in the morning - it is as simple as that.
