That’s hysterical - burns your grass.
Go back to standard time...which agrees with world time
You echo’d what I typed. More daylight in the morning makes more sense, not the evening time.
Yeah...burns my pasture too!!
LOL
I hadn’t heard that term until I was older. We were on horseback on a hot dusty trail. When one of the guys said that and then passed around ice cold beers from his pack for each of us.
It wasn’t really beer, Coors Light, but it sure tasted good.
They should just make California Midnight all the time..........
I live near the ocean in Florida and track sunrise all year long. There is a reason for DST and not just agricultural. These idiots don’t consider the kids at school. Not a bit. I’ve heard the wonderful “rep” Florida Senators state that this is good because it means the Spring Breakers and others (NYers/Massholes) can be in the bars and restaurants longer drinking booze in the sunlight hours. Thanks little Mario, just what Florida needs - more people and more drunks!
Just shows you where we are these days. No opposition party anymore. None whatsoever...
Not ONE Senator cares about all the little primary school kids who will have to walk to the bus stop on those bleak black December mornings...
For god’s sake, we are ruled by idiots.
Good grief. This reminds me of March 2008 in Iraq when al Sadr’s boys were making it rain rockets on or near the coalition areas. The Parliament called a special session to address this. We were waiting anxiously for news because we worked with the Ministry of Interior and weren’t able to go there during all of this.
We were in our offices on our FOB when we got an e-mail from our media folks passing along an announcement from the Parliament: “The Republic of Iraq will no longer be using Daylight Savings Time. On 1 April, we will not be moving clocks forward. We are now on Standard Time year-round.”
In the middle of a crisis.
During winter, stars will be shining while kids are getting on their school bus.
Why next year? Make it immediately !
Do we really need an extra hour to do stuff outside...in winter?
An Extra hour of sunshine in the hottest part of the day. Great. Keep those electric bills climbing.
Shhh. Let them.
If this is what they are busy with, it’ll keep them out of trouble.
Still...a great movie.
Redoing the time zones would go a long way to taking care of the dark in the morning.
The Eastern time zone goes from Maine to Michigan and Kentucky, which make a significant difference.
In Portland ME, sunrise today was 6:53 AM and in Louisville, KY it was 7:53, a full hour later in the same time zone.
That’s just too much of a difference.
That’s a good idea. Where a place is located in the time zone makes a big difference.
It makes me laugh when I hear people saying that they get more daylight…As if we are affecting the amount of time the sun shines.
News flash, you’re not changing anything but a clock-still have the same amount of sunlight time. Never made sense to me. Someone tried to explain to me that it was for the farmers. Not knowing anything about farmer, I assumed that farmers didn’t even have clocks. They got up, worked until they were done then went to bed, probably never even looking at a clock.
Thanks for taking the time for that post. FR at its best.
