Mad Cow Disease and Day Light Savings Time

Standard

This morning I began my day with my regularly anticipated rant that begins the week before the time change happens….poor Fernando…he gets it every time! I struggle with this big time, every time it happens!

Here is the thing….Saskatchewan does not change time…smartest people in the world, if you ask me…(I know you wanted to ask me who the smartest were..now you know…you’re welcome!) time does not actually “change” people!

Who is he? This magic time wand waver? Really who? I want to stomp on his foot! It’s gotta be a guy because Mother Nature gets blamed for enough..wait…I just got it…its Father Time!! I am freakin’ BRILLIANT this morning…(all this thinking is going to hurt later…..wine please!)

See, prairie people get it….you may be able to “tip” a cow while its sleeping (been there..done it…you really can) but you cannot “trick” a cow into changing its feeding patterns! The cows would all be out there in the field like “WTH??? Where’s my food?? I am hungry!”

They have four stomach’s!!! Cows count on their food at specific times!! (Am I, and the Saskatchewan people the only one’s who get this? This should make International News…I would read about all of this over Justin Bieber any day! This is REAL Canadian news.)

You know how mad you get when you get super hungry? Ya! Times that by FOUR stomach’s all growling at once!! Now we discover where mad cow disease comes into play. (Father Time…you really should have had a consult with the farm animals before making big decisions like this. Bad call…Bad call…)

Then in the fall…the cow’s just think we are dorks because we feed them an hour earlier.  If you listen really close you can hear them out in the field… “This dude is trying to feed me and I am not hungry yet…moron…now it is not going to be fresh when I get to it…great…”<insert cow sarcasm here>

Now we have a world of mad cattle and wonder where Mad Cow Disease came from…Hello! People! Are you listening??

The cows have been telling us for years now by getting angry and then making us sick….I salute the Saskatchewan people today for being the smartest people in keeping happy cattle in the pastures….until they go to the slaughterhouse…wow…that just took a wrong turn for them….sorry….

Let’s “milk” this theory for all it’s worth and STOP changing time….(that was a good pun and totally intended.)

Happy Friday! I know your weekend will be much better now that you know this.  Please feel free to send it to your local news station…cuz this is breaking news!

These are my AWESOME parents from the Prairies…while they are not farmers, they are Saskatchewanians so they are 2 of the smartest people in the world for sure! AND they birthed and raised me….so I know I got the “smart” gene (it’s hereditary…thank god!)! 🙂
