DST.......What do you think?

[Doofy]

Been 4 days since DST began...still waiting for my "Smart" projection clock to automatically change over. That's progress!

It'll change in two weeks.

I had to turn the DST on with mine.... had to hold the >>> button. They make the instructions as small as possible to not help you out.... I kept wondering why mine did not change, then I realized it was just a poor senile operator.

There is no need today for daylight savings time which started way back during WWI.
I would prefer to stay on standard time year round.

Times have changed. No need keep on changing times. :confused3:

I'd rather we kept daylight saving time year round.

DST is the only way ever devised to get people to go to work an hour earlier in the summer. Working construction our day started at 7 AM DST. With a half hour lunch, quitting time was early enough we managed to miss the worst of the heat. On the farm, our work day started at 5:30 or 6:00, but an 8 hour day was a fiction.

For a while, I worked for a city building department. I tried and tried to get them to start work at 7:00, but they refused. The contractors were really in favor of earlier hours, but 8:00 was welded into the boss's brain. Whoever thought up 8-5 was a moron. DST is the best we can do.

Well, after a hard days work until 5 or 6 o'clock I really enjoy the sun being up until 9 in the summer.

As another Indiana member stated, if you live in the western edge of any time zone, you likely don't need it. Time zones are approx solar noon in the center. So eastern edge folks like it. Years ago before IN had DST, our factory had "summer hours". Everyone started an hour early. I feel changing clocks is silly.

Official twilight here is about 9:57pm at the end of June. It's ridiculous.

Most of us can thank Richard Nixon for springing forward and falling back. He upset the Apple cart in 1973.

Is that really tzatziki? It looks like sour cream. A gyro isn't a gyro without tzatziki.
