frühschoppen

Generally there is more resistance and popular momentum to do away with the seasonal time changes in the Autumn—whereas the tilt-shift towards longer days in the Spring is usually welcomed with relief, but the deputy minister president of Bavaria, Ilse Aigner, pledges to start a campaign to keep universal time year-around.
The impetus came in part due to her superior, Horst Seehofer, missing the regular Sunday morning conference call with the Chancellor—having overslept and not adjusted his alarm clock.  I suspect the later story is a promotion for championing doing away with the relic of switching time, and I also suspect that there won’t be a terrible lot of traction, since the change would probably have to pass muster in Brussels first.  This administrative embargo is unlikely to be overcome by the feeble arguments of the counter-clockwise, equipped mostly with ninnyish but true observations like saying that we’ll have less to look forward to next March or contrarily, how on earth will we remember to check smoke-detectors and fire-extinguishers without a bi-annual cue.  One maladjusted day aside, it hardly seems the time to be looking towards the Equinox, but what do you think?
