Lots of rebuilding going on, and I suspect a lot of moving to a different spot also going on.?ÿ We were planning to build a new house this year since we sold ours to a daughter and her family last summer, but with the shortage of builders and the price of lumber that may have to wait a bit.?ÿ My pivots that were rolled over have been taken apart, waiting on new parts to put them back up.?ÿ One good thing to come out of it is I can now see several cell towers I couldn't see for the trees before, so our wireless internet is better.
I am 100% all for daylight saving time.?ÿ In fact, they messed it up a few years ago, and need to put it back to where the winter months were 2 or 3 weeks longer.?ÿ Too lazy to change your clocks??ÿ You must not live in the Northern part of the county, because it is certaining a very nice thing to have in the winter.?ÿ The lower states don't have to cope with the long dark nights we do.?ÿ I can't imagine living in Canada or Alaska (other other parts of the world) that get more than 16 hours a day of darkness.
Does moving the clock get you more daylight??ÿ No, of course not.?ÿ But it does move the majority of the population to accomplish their deeds during the daylight.
They will probably change it.?ÿ 2 years later, they will probably change it back.
If daylight savings time becomes permanent, I??ll have to change our work schedule for a good part of the winter. We leave the office at 7:30am but the sun won??t come up until 8:45am ?ÿin Athens Ga. on January 1st.
Change it back to Standard Time year around.
This reminds me of a grade school teacher explaining something about George Washington not being born on February 22.?ÿ He was born prior to the BIG change that came in the calendar system, so he was actually born some number of days earlier or later.
Then someone connected with a church tried to explain how Jesus was really born in Summer and tried to explain why we celebrate on December 25.
"Well, now, Sonny, I remember back in the good ol' days how it was that everyone lived on Standard Time.?ÿ There was no such thing as Daylight Time.?ÿ Don't laugh.?ÿ It's the truth.?ÿ Don't believe me, eh??ÿ Go down to the nursing home and ask the residents about that."
Time to save daylight again.

Poor babies!
How do Alaskans save daylight?
In a barrel of kerosene?

I regularly attend meetings that start at 5:00, 6:00 and 7:00. The one at 7:00 moves to 8:00 during DST. Of course, these are all P.M. I wouldn't attend any of them if it was A.M.
Leave it on standard time. "Daylight savings" in the winter suks.
It's daylight saving, one "s".
How does that old Native American story go on this subject?
Something about how only white eyes stupid enough to cut off one end of blanket to sew onto the other end to make the blanket longer.
I say just follow the sun. Easy whatever time to sun rises get up eat breakfast drive to work. Work however many hours required head home enjoy the family. My grandpa always told me not much good to be out after dark you will just get into trouble. Come home eat go to sleep. Awake early and work. I am one that just doesn’t like all the flip flopping. If you don’t want kids walking to school in dark school at a certain point can start later the community and businesses will adapt as well . I can’t figure out all the new fangle devices to keep changing the clocks anymore.
No daylight is saved by moving a clock. I can't believe people put up with this for so long. It's all some marketing malarkey, imagining people would buy more things. It has nothing to do with farmers. Children do not have to wait for the school bus in the dark. Just start school later.
"They" talk about daylight. I talk about noon. Do we want the day to be half over when the sun is highest (roughly) in the sky or an hour before that?
When we say "half a day," we'll have to say whether it's the big half or the little half.
