Or just change it by a half-hour, and then leave it alone!! I’m so tired of it. For those with school-age children, the October change is fine, but try it in the spring. You’re having to make kids go to bed at sunset and get up in the dark. So stupid...
For Pete's sake, why?
It was less dark than normal when I walked my nephew to the bus stop.
BTW- Who decided that the youngest kids get to the bus stops at 6:45 while older kids get picked up at 8?
Me too.
Yes, sir! And, we can add this bit of time to to brisket BBQ and a good bottle of wine.
(or, more likely, driving back from the rigs in Mentone in day-light!)
******************************
Because I like sunshine in the afternoon. I like spending some time outside with my husband when he returns home from work. Because as an individual, I have my own personal preferences.
Worse time of the year for me coming up this Sunday.
Sunset around 5:30 . Would like to go on MY time
where sun sets around 6 30 to 7 pm daily all year.
Of course in the summer i dont like sunsets at 830 or 9pm either.
:)
Sleep is for pussies quit whining. I think we should double day light savings time. I could give a crap about kids in the north that have to walk to school in the mornings. Their parents made a stupid decision to live in the north. Screw em.
Does Pennsylvania have the Ballot Initiave?
OK. You like sunshine in the afternoon. I like it in the morning. My suggestion would be to do without DST and live by nature's clock.
Just sayin'.
Snicker!
anyone who wants to take advantage of “daylight savings time” - whether it be a business, a school, some government offices or ANY organizations, they can announce:
“beginning on XX of ______ (start month) and lasting until XX of _______ (end month , our regular hours of operation will from x am/pm to y am/pm instead of z am/pm to w am/pm”
and anyone wanting to follow their example can do the same
it should be voluntary, not mandatory, for anyone
I wake up when the sun comes up. I go to bed when the sun goes down. How the clock is synchronized with the two doesn’t matter to me.
You asked, and I answered. Why, I don’t know.
“What about the Southetn hemisphere?” You ask.
They do the same thing, but when it makes sense for their seasons. They still spring ahead, but they do it now.
If you can’t know that maybe you shouldn’t write articles about the subject
One question, if "Standard Time" is now used only for 5 months, 7 days, Why isn't "Daylight Savings Time" called "Standard" and "Standard Time" called something else?
That’s a good question.
Without DST, here near Seattle, sunrise would be a few minutes after 4 AM on the solstice.
“blonde gal>
“I just love getting up at 2 AM to reset all the clocks. It disrupts my beauty sleep”
Is that the same blonde that got lost in the two-stalk corn maze?
