Daylight Savings Time---yes or no?

[Industrial Toys]

I have often left my clocks alone in the fall, only changing them when I wanted the extra time. I just get a little tired of being asked if "that is the right time".

I had a total of 40 clocks/watches etc to change yesterday. It used up my 'extra hour' and then some. No more DST please.

I had three, my good watch (not everyday one), the kitchen oven, and my truck. The rest did it by themselves.

Usually it happens in close timing to a power failure so all your work is in vain. lol

Ditto at work where there is over 20 of them. Love those atomic clocks.
10-12 of them at home that the wife does cuz she is a clock nut.
I like the time change, love the extra daylight it lets us have, takes minutes to do yet we spend hours complaining about it.
Just don't understand what the big deal is, it's a very minor thing to do, not like we all have to climb up the clock tower to change Big Ben.

You are preaching the Gospel! Reset clocks on Sunday morning, power went out twice yesterday evening. Both times for 2 minutes or less, just long enough that EVERYTHING had to be reset. Of course after the first outage got everything reset and hour and half later, it went out again..................

Often I am so close to guessing the time, it makes you wonder, why even bother?

I didn't bother to change the clocks in the shop, in just 4.5 months, March 14, 2021 we switch back to DST. I figure why bother, I'm out there only 2 or 3 hours a day.

Good Point. Even a broken clock is right two times a day.

Also, why some people sets their clock 10 min fast so they are not late, really??

Well, I have to plead guilty on that one. Well not since I (mostly) retired but did for most of my working life. It was more a psychological thing...I knew the clock was :10 fast, but it did get me out the door a little earlier than I might have otherwise.

A high school friend's parents did that, I just copied the idea from them.

Why not set it ten minutes slower and you will really move your azz! Thinking that you are always late already.
