Daylight Savings

[LeftCoast]

Is it just me that takes about 4 days to get used to the loss of an hour?

Taking a page from Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham (with apologies to Dr. Seuss)

“I do not like this time change Sam I Am! I do not like it and will avoid it if I can”!

Happy Daylight Savings everyone but Az and Hawaii (and a couple of others)!

Bummer.....

I can adapt to the hour change what bugs me is the change in the daylight.... It is a shame as it has no purpose but to cause a nightmare of logistics for everyone. Now with some states not doing it it becomes even more of a problem. Seems it should be a countrywide deal :banghead:

I have to agree. It takes a couple days to get used to the change. The upside...AK is headed for 23 hours plus of light...in our area. Further North...no darkness for awhile. And that also takes some getting used to. :yes:

In addition to all the other tomfoolery the Oregon legislature has come up with this session, is a bill to go onto daylight time PERMANENTLY! So half the year, we will be out of sync with the rest of the country, except for the states on Mountain Time. Aaargh!

My .02, I really can't understand what all the fuss about daylight savings time is about ….. Folks you do realize that any and all transcontinental travelers deal with this on a daily basis, and the difference for them is many hours not just one . Also folks who travel abroad feel it even more.....Please, we need to get over it …… jmho …. Mike hyea:

I'm actually quite amazed that it stayed stable for as long as it did.......since Politicians tend to screw with stuff they shouldn't and ignore stuff that they should be taking care of.

In Florida, somebody in the Legislature had this idea to put ALL of Florida on the same time zone, instead of having that little piece at the west end of the panhandle be on Central.

As usually happens, that reasonable idea somehow morphed into year long DST......but still two zones for Florida. :gaah:

Now there is another push in Congress to adopt DST all year in the WHOLE country.

It's just a discussion...to pass the time of day. Mellow a bit. :bowdown:

WI is considering keeping the time in Daylight Savings year round. I like the idea, cuz I like the idea of the extra daylight in the evenings. Not real sure what all the fuss is about, but I do agree, that it should be an across- the-country change if anything happens. Maybe we could reduce the number of time zones in the US to help reduce confusion....LOL

Riding on the edge.

There is always going to be 24 hours in a day. Some are dark and the rest are light and always changing. What's the problem??

 

[Geep]

What’s Day Light Savings Time?....hint check my location

 

[canamjhb]

Glad to not have to mess with it as we don't have it in AZ except for a part of Indian Reservation in NE part of the state. The biggest problem is knowing when we can check into motels when we are on summer tours. We don't change the time on our watches and always have to ask desk clerks what time it is locally..... Sun comes up, we get ready and ride. Sun goes down, we stop for a cocktail and supper..... Jim

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

takes me no time to get used to it but it will take a lifetime to understand why we have it

Daylight time---- Standard time------------ A waste of time. I just go skiing when the resort is open.

 

[ARtraveler]

If you think about it...nothing has changed...just our changing of the rules as to when it is happening.

And we really need it up here in AK. :roflblack:

Who needs more daylight anyway? :dontknow:
