bountyhunter Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I hate it when they shift the clock every fall. That extra hour of sunlight every day makes my lawn grow faster and I have to mow it more often. I wish they would just leave the clock alone.

SiG Lady Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Well, I think the whole thing is confusing and disorienting and it messes me up twice every year. That's twice more than I'm capable of dealing with. It's stupid and useless... everyone bitches about it. Let's put it on the ballot and be done with it!!

AikiDale Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I would not mind saving all that daylight during the summer if they would spend some of it during the winter to make the days longer. Somebody is making out like a light bulb but darn if I can figure out where all that saved daylight is going.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 You know your life is overscheduled when you look forward to the extra hour of sleep every fall and curse at losing an hour in the spring.... BTW, in Arizona they ignore DST..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that right now it is getting harder and harder to get up at 5:30 every morning. Fricking 28 degrees out this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 ...yeh, I think there's more than one state that sez hell-with-it and doesn't honor the stupidity. This is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I sure hope Flexmoney does not delete this before anyone gets to read it, but I would vote for putting the whole planet on UTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana James Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 It was done to save electricity. I say build more Natural Gas Power Plants. By the way, I work for ChevronTexaco. We're the leader in US Natural Gas! Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you'll have to remember that the shops bit east or west only open at 03:00 or 16:30 to start their business..... ------------- DST sucks though....

dajarrel Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I actually enjoy the extra hour of daylight in afternoon. I really don't like swapping twice a year. Just leave us on the DST. But then alot of folks, my wife included, say, " I hate driving to work at 1130 UTC (6:30 am CDT) in the dark!" Oh well.... dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing goios about changing the clocks. I hate it when I driver both to work, and then back home in the dark. If I don't get outside during lunch time, or a short break, I can go days without even seeing the sun. THAT BLOWS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 It's crazy when you live in Indiana (we're on Eastern Standard Time year 'round), and all of the surrounding states change their times, plus one is on Central and other three are on Eastern! Hawaii is another state that does not observe the silly clock manipulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Why not just take the tilt out the earth's axis? 12 months of spring/fall. No nasty winters, no oppressively hot summers. Constant 12 hours of day/night all year. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yeah! Just tell us when to all jump up and down at once. Or maybe we can get that Rutan guy to slap a hitch on one of his new everyman space-shippies and they could pull into place while they're out there zooming around in outer space. Anybody know what size ball is on the North Pole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 When congress debated DST in the um, Fifties?, one congresscritter was against it, arguing the extra sunlight would fade curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakal Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 African or European? And no matter what size hitch is on the North Pole, according to McManus's Third Law of Trailers it is NOT any of the available sizes you have available Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our range uses trailers dedicated to the individual pits, with all stage supplies including walls loaded on 'em, that are stored in 40 foot cargo containers....

TriggerT Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Would that put Sunset around Bar time then? That could be nice. Stumble out of the bar at about 2 am, and watch a nice sunset before I pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
