Daylight savings time.

[walkin jack]

I have never been much effected by or concerned about daylight savings time. I have some friends, however, that have real problems with it. It can cause severe depression in some people.

How about you? Does it bother you to "spring forward and fall back"?

I'm alright with the whole fall back aspect especially if I have to work in the morning. Over all though it just messes with my internal schedule to a minor extent.

No answer for me there. I love daylight savings time. I'm not so fond of winter hours, or daylight wasting time, although now that I am up early to drive a school bus, it makes things easier for about the next three weeks, after which the downsides overwhelm any gains.

I wish they would settle on one way and leave it alone. I don't care which. To my way of thinking they are fixing a problem that doesn't exist.

I don't care. In fact I don't see a difference. I wake at at the same set time, my work is at the same set time....etc..etc..

Its kinda annoying since I have to keep changing all my time pieces and wish they'd stop that carpola--but I guess I cant do nuthin bout it-so life goes on. )))

At least there are two days a year where every clock in the house reads the same.

There would be some days I'd be real happy not to have to see the sun up at 0530!

Biggest annoyance is resetting digital devices-the computers on my bikes, e.g. I wear analog watches, resetting them is a simple matter.
In 1973-1974 during the Oil Embargo there were attempts to do away with it, then there were complaints that kiddies were waiting for their school busses in the dark.
IIRC the need for more accurate and widely accepted time keeping came in with the railroads.

Make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

Or at least split the difference. IE, In Spring at 2 am advance it to 230 am and leave permantly.

With all the advance in energy saving technology in everything from refrigerators to toasters and coffee makers, why can't we just pick a time and leave it. Let's simplify life, there's enough going on in the world!

No answer for me there. I like it. It lets me read off the deck in summer @ 9:45 PM and lets my grandkids be at school with an 8 AM sunrise instead of a 9 AM sunrise. I don't care for the 5:10 AM alarm clock the first week or so of it but it is fairly easy to adapt to.

Daylight savings time: Kinda like cutting 6 inches off one end of a blanket and sewing it on the other end, then declaring you now have a longer blanket.

I have discovered the perfect solution to this problem. I keep some of my time pieces on regular time and some on DST. That way I'm good anytime of the years and I never have to make any changes.

I have one watch that is broken and even that is right twice a day.

I prefer it, would like it year round. I live in the eastern end of the central time zone and don't like dark at 4:30.

The only problem with making it year round (and thus changing our time zones from the rest of the world) is after a while, someone would want to go on daylight - daylight savings time.

Now if I want to go to bed early, I don't feel guilty doing it while it is still light outside.
I'm up at 4 in the morning, it is always going to be dark when I get up.

Just leave it as it is in the summer. I hate, hate, hate coming home at 5pm in the dark.
