Here in the USA we changed the clocks yesterday (Sunday) morning for some ridiculous reason.
Does anyone else get jet-lag when this happens?
Why do we do this? In the modern world of electric light and automatic milking machines, what's the point?

Yeah, I'm dragging a bit today. I've have no clue as to why we still do this.

No, it does not faze me one bit.

Think...think...think...oh me of little brain.
If I only had a brain.
Maybe this is one of the British jokes I never understand because they use some term like flat or liederhosen or something? I just don't get them jokes from across the pond.

I'm from the Netherlands, and this one's quite universal.
Anyway, just look at whatever the baby is looking at, it might dawn on you...

Nope. I've found I can move around within about 3 time zones without effect - its the trips to Europe that wipe me out. It takes me about 1 day per hour difference to acclimate once there. Oddly when I return I acclimate after the first night.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

It is so you won't have to use those electric lights as much in the evening.
Also, I is hard to work out in the yard with electric lights, so I like having daylight savings time go into effect. 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Maybe there is a compromise here and we could start moving it forward / back just 30 minutes instead of a complete hour?
I think I just came up with a Genius-Solution which I am patenting and selling to the government immediately!!!

Apparently some people, obviously not sane intelligent folk like ourselves, actually go outside once in a while!

Why?

I have no idea - apparently they have something called "a life" which, from what I understand, is "too short"

Kids these days don't know nuffin'.
Kristofferson[^]
I have a feeling that that album has the highest number of huge hits of any debut album.
The only problem was that the huge hits were for other people, singing his songs.

I only recognise a couple of the tracks and can't remember who did them. Which were the "huge hits" of which you speak?

Me and Bobby McGee - Joplin (and a dozen or so others)
Help me Make it Through the Night - Gladys Knight & the Pips (and several others including Presley)
For the Good Times - Ray Price and about thirty others
Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down - Johnny Cash, Ray Stevens, etc.
But when Kristofferson released the album -- Of. His. Songs. -- I think it sold about three copies.
