Who have stolen my daylight saving time? I need to be a revolutionary

Woke up a little over five in the morning. I need to pee. Peeking through my bedroom curtain there was light. Check my weather channel app. It shows sunrise in Hsinchu is 5:23 in the morning.

I could not go back to sleep. It bothered me. I remember when I was a primary student back in the fifties my parents could bring us for a movie after dinner strolling on a road with only few cars before sunset. We could enjoy the sun more back then.

What have happened since then?

In California when I was there I could go out playing tennis after dinner without turning the field lights on. That was around eight o’clock in the evening. The sun was still shining. Sun was fun in California especially after dinner. As matter of fact all over the United States except Arizona and Hawaii all have daylight saving time in summer.

Yes, in the States quite some people complain about the daylight saving time. It causes sleeping disorders, but I really really love it. It provided me hope in the winter for longing summer’s daylight saving time.

Over twenty years ago I moved back to Taiwan. Not by choice, but by jobs. I had never been able to leave my office before sunset. Every time I had to turn my car’s headlights on driving home.

What have been wrong? Who have stolen my daylight saving time?

To be realistic moving the clock one hour earlier in the summer really can save energy. You do not need to turn your dinning room light on at dinner. We are talking about climate change and promoting green environment. Why nobody has mentioned daylight saving time?

Some folks don’t like daylight saving time for the sake they can enjoy longer night life in summer. But are there any night clubs without curtains?

For the sake of earth we need daylight saving time, folks.

We have to be revolutionary to wake up the people asking for daylight saving time for good. Let’s go green. Let’s enjoy daylight saving time. Not just ask, but promote it and ask representatives to legislate it.

Hope we’ll have the daylight saving time soon.
