weekend event....clocks....

[misstia]

Damn, this was really advanced for 1971....I WANT IT NOW!!!! I also absolutely abhor changing the clocks....I know the EU is considering doing away with it but I'm sure the US will stubbornly cling to delusions that in some strange way it saves energy, or gives a factory farm more light, or doesn't cause more traffic accidents due to messed up sleep.....pick one time and STAY ON IT....if it gets dark earlier in the winter, so what? this only became federal law in the US in 1966....yes, i sound like a cranky old woman....hand me a bag of werther's and get off my lawn!!

I wish they would do away with DSL. Possibly it had some importance at one point in time, but not now.

I hate time change too. I've never seen any benefit to it.

I, for one, like having a time change; it adds a thrill to my dreary little life.

I suppose that's the one good thing about us using our mobile phones as alarm clocks, the only thing in our house that needs manually changing is the rice cooker.

Saying that, we don't change our clocks in the UK until the end of March so we'll be an hour closer to the US for a couple of weeks.

Wish we'd just do in-between standard and daylight.

Maybe they could just keep it for the most northern states. The farther north you get, the more the switch makes sense. Living in Ohio, it was more inconvenient that helpful. Living in Minnesota, though, I'd hate to have to keep to one time. I don't want it getting light at 4:30 in the morning for almost 3 months from May through July. I'm a night person - THAT would disrupt my sleep. 5:30 is bad enough. But it doesn't get light until almost 8 a.m. in December and January. If we kept DST, that would be 9 a.m. Not okay.
