Love it or hate it, it's coming: The end of Daylight saving time.
Yes, you'll need to get ready to "fall back." At 2 a.m. Pacific time on Sunday, Nov. 6, California residents will have to set their clocks back by one hour. That's happening again, even though in 2018, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 7, a ballot initiative that opened the door to permanently adopting daylight saving time.
Prop. 7 gave state lawmakers the power to pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent. Less than a month later, Assemblyman Kansen Chu introduced AB 7, the Daylight Saving Time law Prop. 7 enabled, but the Legislature never passed it.
Even if they had, the federal government would still need to OK the change.
This year, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bill called the Sunshine Protection Act, which was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida. The bill would permanently extend daylight saving time from eight months of the year to the full 12 months. But the measure has not yet been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, nor has it been signed into law by President Joe Biden.

Yes, one of those factoids not well known: Cows (critters) like to be fed and milked on a regular schedule. So while the rest of the country plays around with opening and closing time the livestock people just carry on.
I agree.
We could try foregoing daylight savings time one summer and see how people like not being able to cut their grass on a week night so their weekend is free for a camping trip. Or being able to take a walk after the kitchen has been cleaned up.
I think most people really enjoy those summer evenings when the sun doesn’t set until 9. They just don’t like the nuisance of resetting the clocks.

Absolutely.
Thanks for backing me up! :)
