As for "health" consequences, bunk. Ask leading questions of enough suggestible people and you can get any answer you want.
In the 1930s, a fellow and his date couldn’t cuddle up like what was possible in the 50s and 60s.
I remember the year we had year round DST. The sun came up at 8:45 in January.
Guess they didn’t live in slow time all the time. If they had, I guess they’d have lived to 120.
well old enough to practice law I see and deserve credit for getting the forum’s tit out of the ringer
even if I disagree with you I commend that
I hate it too. I hate the change.
Either keep all year or get rid of it.
Getting rid of it would mean the crack of dawn in summertime where I live would be 4am. That’s too early to see anyone’s crack, especially ole Mr. Sunshine.
I wouldn’t mind staying on it all year, I like dark mornings and bright evenings. Florida was considering doing that.
Or you could split the difference and move half an hour forward and stay there.
I would like an extra hour every few weekends, say once a month, as long as I dont have a job where I have to work that extra hour (midnight shift on weekends) like my Mom did before she retired.
I worked on a ranch in Nevada for a couple of years...none of the neigbors or the guy I worked for changed their clocks. We stayed on Austin, (Nv) time which was before the sun came up until after it went down. I never even wore a wrist watch for two years!
What a pain that was when I was working at a mine in California and living in Yuma.
