We’ve been changing to and from DST my whole life (50+ years). Other than the stupid adjustments made to DST in the past 20 years, it works fine.

Now my grandfather was a dairy farmer and he hated DST and called it a communist invention, but never the less, I like it the way it is.

To me, it is actually helpful to have the extra daylight in the evenings, during the part of the year that yard work must be done. Getting home from work after 5:30, and needing at least an hour to mow, it is easier with later sunset. And I also get why they want to have some daylight in the mornings, when kids are being picked up by the school buses.

To me, these are both advantages to keeping the status quo.

So you’re a Communist? Your Grandpa was right.

Because your grandfather knew that although cows cant read a clock they always know what time it is regardless of what time you change the clock to read.

A cow that is late to be fed or milked is not at all a cooperative or friendly creature.

I think that the internal clocks myself and my wife are an hour apart. as we aged, the clocks locked on. We live an hour apart.

I’m om EDLT and my wife is on EST
