During WWII the U.S. was on permanent daylight savings time from 1942-1945. They called it "War Time". Probably to help with war production efforts. When reading about it, the article said the farmers were not happy with it. My grandfather managed a large dairy farm during the war and they milked the cows three times a day. Don't know if it helped milk production or not?

Daylight Saving Time = waste of time.
I am in the camp that prefers the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. Use to be, I was never up before daylight no matter what clock we were on. Now, I am up at 4:30, but never having any fun at that hour, so I don't care how long it stays dark. I would prefer DST all year, in preference to Daylight Wasting Time.
I seem to remember back in the 1970s there was an extension of Daylight Saving Time to save energy. But when winter came and children were walking to school or the bus stop when it was pitch black out the parents weren't too happy.
I asked my uncle if he and my aunt moved the piece of the blanket back to its original spot last night. He said they did, and that they put zippers on each end of the blanket to make it easier to change.

Between the Mtn's surrounding us and DST, 5;50pm and its dark already.Ugh.
Than again a few months from now even worse. Dark by 4:30 PM.

Interesting, considering the Navajo Rez is the only place in Arizona that has it (I assume because it covers more than one state).

Just like the government to think they can change orbital mechanics by a majority vote. Noon means that the Sun is directly overhead. If they voted to make the mile smaller, we would get better gas mileage. A vote to change the gravitational constant, and we would all be able to leap medium high buildings with fewer bounds. Well, probably not me. I can't leap up one step anymore, and I would probably hurt myself trying.
If they want to stay on DST all year long, I would prefer to stay on Gods time, and go to work an hour earlier. That would probably be unpopular because too many people would not want to get up at that hour.
We do like to fool ourselves.
Besides, the extra hour of daylight has been burning up my lawn. My water bill is higher!
And, don't even think of using your watch to find directions. Do I put the sun on 11 or 1. I guess it would be hard with my digital watch, in any case.
Best,
Rick

Loves me some DST.......I get back that billable hour they took from me last spring. If we go permanent DST I'm getting screwed out of a weekend billable hour

You can get a .1 out of the deal if you can figure out a way for it to take you six minutes to reset your clocks.
I wish the dog would change her clock too.
My thrill this past weekend: I was at the computer and it was 1:59AM. I watched and it changed to 1:00! Wish I would've filmed it!
I remember back in my bar days, we would usually talk the beer maid into giving us one more hour because "legally it's not 2:00 yet!" Then the extra tips had to double up!
Why can't they just split the difference at 1/2 hour and leave it?
Film???

Getting an extra hour of 2020 is like getting a bonus track in a Yoko Ono album.
