sunshine steal

this weekend we spring forward which means at 2AM sunday morning, through no fault of its own, an entire hour of time will be erased. ERASED -- as if it had never existed! at 2AM, it will become 3AM. boom. do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to oblivion. 

prosecutor, to defendant..: where were you at 2:15AM on sunday, 14 march 2021?

defense attorney: objection! there was no 2:15AM on sunday, 14 march 2021!

judge: suh-stained....

i don't like losing an hour. i prefer the fall-back scenario, where we magically get to spend another hour sleeping. pluslywise, falling back adds daylight to the morningtime. springing forward means it'll be dark again when i get up. i feel like it's just now becoming light when i get up in the morning. 

so it's not a simple thing -- not a 1:1. the hour that's actually removed is the hour of daylight when i am emptying the dishwasher and brewing the caffeine. it's not 2AM that's taken, it's a sunshine steal!
