Math people don't worry about such foolishness.?ÿ For example, had to disconnect the battery in one truck a couple of years ago to do some work on it.?ÿ During DST you add three hours and 15 minutes to whatever it says to get the correct time.?ÿ Now, all I need to do is add two hours and 15 minutes.
Neither do nerds (such as myself) because all of their devices adjust for time change themselves. 😉
My Jeep adjusted itself, I know I've had it longer than the latest change to the time switch, the only reason I can figure how it changed itself was because it hooks up to my phone when I drive and the phone is automatic, so maybe that did it.?ÿ
I still (ever since our Indiana governor broke all our clocks several years ago) change the clock radio on my night stand that Santa brought me in 1980.
Indiana was, and still is, weird.
Back in the mid-1970s there was like a four percent sales tax added onto the price of gasoline that was added to whatever the pump said your total was.?ÿ If you put in $10 worth, you had to have another 40 cents in your pocket.?ÿ As I recall, some attendants (yes, people who put the gas in for you) knew precisely where to stop the pump in order to get the grand total to come out to even dollars.
I hate daylight savings time. It takes 3 weeks to explain to the Orange tree why it gets dark earlier. ?????ÿ
I get so grumpy when this happens. The sun comes out i work. Sun goes down I sleep. I don??t need nor freaking clock to let me know I can see outside without a flashlight. ?ÿI have chickens. Usually a rooster but he kinda got aggressive and well as my youngest said he needs to be made into chicken nuggets. ?ÿWhat if we just followed the sunrise times to start are daily work schedules. It would be mere minutes changed gradually over the course of a year. ?ÿAnd I would not have to explain to people that changing a clock does not change how many hours of sunlight are in a day. Lol. Ok my rant.?ÿ
@olemanriver Your youngest sounds like a good kid. Practical solutions for everyday problems...
@thebionicman man she is a pistol. She had one of those watch caps that had those crafts glue on eyes on it. Bubba the rooster did not like it and she came storming in with scratches on her face and said daddy bubba is chicken nuggets he stole my hat. I went out to get the hat and that sucker attacked me trying to grab it. She brought a broom handle she was six and said here daddy i will be back with a pot so you can cook him. Just give me a few minutes lol. Rhode Island reds i love them but at some point the roosters get flat out mean. I don??t have to have them for eggs but they do keep a watchful eye out for hawks and other predators which saves the flock.?ÿ
She might become a surveyor. She loves math and when i bring equipment home she loves being around the robot. She would rather me talk about angles and distance than push a button though. I know she doesn??t understand but if i get on a phone call helping a friend about gps or measurements she is all ears. Maybe she will have her moms brains and become a geodosist or something. But she is practical and a natural born problem solver. If she wants something and we don??t have it she makes it. She wanted a basketball goal. I come home from work and see some darn contraption attached to my head gate chute I bought. Cardboard duck tape boards and scitch tape. Had a hole cut out and balanced bricks to try and make a backboard. I told the wife order a darn goal. She is going to need one. Lol.?ÿ
I think we should do time by county, solar noon every day.
I think we should do time by county, solar noon every day.
I hope that comment was satirical. Time was by solar noon in each town until travel and communication speeds made that a headache. Time zones were pushed by the railroads to reduce the headache.
There is already enough confusion along standard time zone boundaries now.
For the last three years that I??ve been ??between jobs? (AKA retired) I??ve had difficulties with time. Today I have some research to do and asked my wife if she knew if the library was open today. It??s Monday, of course it is open. I thought it was Sunday. Apparently I set my calendar ?ÿback one day instead of my clock back one hour. This will haunt me for the next week or so??
Never ask a dairy farmer what day it is.?ÿ They are all Milkday.?ÿ Everyday is the same old same old twice or thrice a day.
Living on Tulsa time....
My next wristwatch instead of having numerals is going to have January, February, March...
They are all Milkday
My old friends Wayne (1920-1995) and Della (1920-2016), were dairy farmers. They finally retired in the mid 1980s and?? joined the Peace Corps for two years to set up a dairy in Malaysia. Like a postman??s holiday, that was their idea of idling through their golden years.
