It's the Turning Back of the Clocks (days will now be shorter until March)

Ugh—the changes are horrible. And it is dark too early in the winter when we are off DST. We should just stay on it year-round.

[Dilbert San Diego]

There are nice things about each time of year , which you point out to us. It’s nice to think positive.

[Qiviut]

.... days will now be shorter until April

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Actually, you don’t have to wait until April ... daylight savings time begins March 8 in 2020.

In Florida they passed a bill to make DST year round, like Arizona. Its differentnt in a warmer climate, and most people including the republican governor DeSantis support making DST permanent.

Hate DST. Nothing is saved, just time shifted. Gimme an extra hour a day and we’ll talk...

No the days have been getting shorter since June 22, and will begin to get longer on December 22. All that’s happening tomorrow is a bunch of people will change what their clock SAYS. The single stupidest exercise in the world.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Arizona stays on standard time year round.

[Dr. Sivana]

I am in Arizona, where we do not participate. I am only affected because I remote in and my employer is on east coast time.

To me it just makes more sense to change the time of your activities instead of engaging in the legal fiction that midday doesn’t really mean midday.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Supposedly it saves energy. Weren’t we on year round daylight time during world war I and/or II?

I recall for a time in the 70s we were on year round daylight time during the energy crisis.

[Verginius Rufus]

The days are getting shorter because the sun is moving further south of the celestial equator--how we set our clocks has nothing to do with the length of the day.

If you want the day to be the same length all year long, there is a simple solution--move to the equator. Days are 12 hours and nights are 12 hours all year long there.

I have always felt that Daylight Savings Time is a crime against nature.

Sun comes up, sun goes down

I just work in between that

[rktman]

So we only get 23 hours instead of 24? Nobody told me!😲🌄🌞

[SamAdams76]

All that’s happening tomorrow is a bunch of people will change what their clock SAYS.

Which is fine by me as I still go by the clock. And that clock gives me an extra hour of daylight in April (which is taken back in early November).

Maybe when I retire, I won't pay as much attention to the clock. But now I'm sort of a slave to it.

[Equine1952]

I read your whole post and thought you were being sarcastic. Sun comes up, sun goes down, it really doesn’t matter when I set my activities and schedule to accomadate the earth’s rotation on its axis as it goes around the sun. The activities change and when I drive with headlights changes. I’m glad you like this fall back, spring forward stuff. Me? Not so much.

[rktman]

Make standard time standard.😁

[Peter W. Kessler]

I HATE this time of the year; makes me want to hibernate ‘til May.

Ecch

Aug 23, 2011-——no more watch. BOOM!

[John S Mosby]

Yes, they passed a bill— BUT in a blatant demonstration of the lack of observance of the 10th Amendment-— Congress... by Law is required to pass the OK for an area to be changed to DST year round. I kid you not.
