Adjusting to the new daylight/clock relationship.

Most of my 60 years I've lived on the Eastern edge of the Pacific time zone. I'm now living on the Western edge of the Mountain time zone, about 175 miles East of where I was, longitudinally. Not much in a roughly 1000 mile wide time zone. When it's 8:00 AM here the sun just feels like it's in the wrong spot. My mind keeps telling me it's 7:00 AM.
Had I known this was the type of problem I'd need to deal with in retirement I would have done it years ago!!

wait till your body tells you its time to pee, and your mind ignores it,,,, thats retirement
Had the same experience when I moved east from the Wet side of the state, only in reverse.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
It's almost wide enough to have a significant difference in the time that the sun rises, but I suspect not quite wide enough to notice any significant difference.

Nothing to do with daylight 'savings' time. It's where I'm positioned geographically in regards to the line marking Pacific and Mountain time. 1 yard one way or the other makes quite a difference.
Though I agree the jumping back and forth with the time is utter nonsense. Next time they should move back 1/2 hour and call it quits.
Where I live we're gaining 6 minutes of daylight / day so after a week we've got almost another hour of daylight. The sunrise glow a month ago meant it's time to get up. Now, it means I've got 4 more hours of sleep. The evening gloom came at 4pm, now it's happening around 8pm. Pretty soon it won't GET dark.
Here's 1AM on the 4th of July... see the fireworks going downtown?
Now that you are retired Neo, all you really have to do is throw away your clocks! 🙂
...I hate that DST mess! I would prefer for it to remain the same year round...like it had been since time began...ought to shoot the moron who thought it up...
