Daylight Savings Time is Here to Stay

[GSPHUNTER]

The dogs are confused. why are we eating so late?

 

[Huntindog45]

i honestl do not understand why everyone is so up in arms about moving their clock twice a year. i like not going to work in the dark in the winter and i like having it stay light out until later in the summer. As far as I am concerned the system worked perfectly.

This is perfect for duck hunters.

Sort of, but we’ll miss out on the quick before work hunts!!

I can’t figure out why this is something so wonderful, it’s not like the days are going to magically be longer now.

Because I won't be driving home in the dark from work in the winter. I hate that.

I don't understand why everybody's panties got in a bunch about changing the clocks. If it switches Ok sounds good but I can't believe even 2 minutes of time is being spent on this.

All the issues in this country and this is what our elected representatives spend their time...The 2 party system has got to go.

I can't imagine it not getting light until after 8:00 in the morning. Being a morning person it will be interesting how my body reacts. Probably will just blame anything on old age though. Lol

Is it dark at 08:00 there now?
It is getting light here (during DST) around 06:20.
Only place I ever lived where it is still dark at 8 a.m. is Alaska... and no time change will fix that.

The extra hour of light in the evening, is worth twice as much as the hour of light lost in the morning.

I feel bad for people that live on the west side of the time zone in the northern tier states. Sun will be coming up after 930am for a large portion of the winter. 240 days a year it’ll be dark until after 7am.

Huh? It starts getting light at 06:20 here in WY DST.

For me it shakes out this way,………
I’m retired, I get up when I wake up, no clock, no alarm, no problem.
Hunting starts 30 minutes before sunrise, ends 30 minutes after sunset, so again, no problem.
I go to bed when I get sleepy, don’t need no clock telling me it’s bedtime, my body does that quite well. No problem there either.
The only time I use a clock is for appointments or shopping and I schedule those for mid morning to mid afternoon so changing time is of no benefit there.

My life revolves around the sun same as yours, the only difference is you have to arrange yours to fit an artificial schedule, the 🕰 and someone telling you when to do something. Not saying you’re wrong, heck I did it for almost 60 years, I just like my way better.

Sound like we are in the same boat drifting down the river.

I never get those starting my work day at 5:45. But I sure will like the extra sleep hour in the mornings since shooting time won’t be until 8am+ for most of my season. I hope it all goes through and really happens.

Good for you? You understand that we don’t currently have DST in winter and that there are other places?

 

[crich]

Dang now all the college kids won't get an extra hour to close down the bar when we switch over

I did this on accident about 10 years ago not realizing the time was going to change.... Im not much of a drinker the next morning was rough

 

[CorbLand]

Man, I really need to change the things I am doing in my life if some of the biggest problems people have is if its light or dark when they go to and from work.

It’s also the end of March. Under DST it will be dark here at 8:00 in December and January.

It used to be an exciting night when you got an extra hour of drinking. Now that I'm a little bit older it's more exciting that we get an extra hour of sleep

I live in a very northern tier state and on the western side of the time zone. As it stands now, in the winter I have to drive to work in the dark and back home in the dark. It will be wonderful to be able to drive home when it is still light out and actually be able to see things in my yard for a few minutes a day

No matter where you live, and what time the sun comes up, there is nothing saying that schools and businesses have to open at a certain time.
