Pat Riot Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Nope! Here in California they voted to stay on DST so…Oh wait! It never came to fruition…never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Arizona doesn't change, so when DST is in effect, they are on the same time as California. And when we fall back, they are on the same time as Denver. There is a movement in Colorado to abolish Daylight time, or stay on it. I don't know which or whether it will get passed. Anyway, I started turning some of the clocks back (primarily in the basement). I'll turn the rest back before bedtime. No way I'm getting up at 2:00 AM!

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Worst case of jet lag I ever had I was driving. My first trip to EOT was in Norco, my nephew and I drove. We drove to Las Cruces NM and spent the night with my FIL. Time change into mountain time. Time changed that night to DST. Drove from there into Arizona, no DST, time changed again. Drove from Tombstone to Las Vegas. DST plus change to Pacific time, 2 hr. change. I wanted to take my nephew to the water and light show at Sam's Town. We got there and the place seemed rather dead. I asked the bartender when the next show was and he looked at me like I was off my trail. It was like 1 or 2 AM! We had no clue. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 DST is the stupidest invention ever to come along. I've heard a hundred reasons for it and not a single one makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Of what benefit is the time change? Seriously! I have never really gotten a good answer. To me it’s just freakin’ annoying. And it throws off my mental clock for a few days. I actually thought that here in Happy-Land that someone in government would push Congress to accept and move forward with the “Will of the People”. Well that hasn’t happened. I believe the vote to make DST permanent was over 3 years ago. Looking forward to leaving here. Rant mode off…anyone want some Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream? I just bought some at Von’s. I am not one for “fad flavors” but I do like pumpkin spice flavored food. Especially Entenmann’s donuts. Yummy!

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Sorry, I like DST in the summer. Yeah, the change is a bit of a PITA but no big fat hairy deal. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 We (some of Australia) cranked ours forward a month ago, an' I won't get used to it until after Easter ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Everybody I have ever talked to, personally, hates DST. Since most people dislike it....then Lincoln was wrong....it is not a government: of the people, by the people, and for the people. I have to think that it is there to allow executives, and C.E.O.'s, to have longer daylight hours, in order to play golf longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Bear Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hate daylight saving, really hard on the kitchen curtains, that extra hour of sunshine really makes 'em fade faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The only benefit I can see it's it's lighter earlier in the morning for the kids going to school but getting dark at 5:00pm is terrible!! So I hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 once heard iowa farmers liked it for that extra hour of daylight in the fields , ive never understood it really , all one has to do is to plan daylight things in those hours and our after hours dark time according to what mother nature offers , if you run out - pick it up again tomorrow , i think i heard there was a lot of consideration to dumping this , bout damned time in my mind , i hate having to figure out how to change the clocks that don't do it automatically and we still have a few here , i dont reset the sundial as the sun aint listening to the government no matter how much they tax us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Several states have passed laws to either eliminate DST or stay on it permanently, but they cannot do it without an act of Congress approving it. Personally I wish it was the opposite, with DST during the winter and standard time in the summer. Here it doesn't get dark until 10pm in June, yet in December it gets dark at 4:30pm.

So I hate it! But we are not now on daylight savings time. We are on Standard Time. It gets dark at 5 p.m. because it's Standard Time. I don't really care whether we're on Standard time or daylight savings time. I just wish we would pick one and leave it there. It's the changing of the clocks that annoys me.
