Daylight saving time starts March 8, 2015.
Absolutely correct Mr. BC, you are a lucky guy. But, if you are traveling, going for supplies, and what not you do have to deal with the hours businesses are operating on. We like the early mornings, so we will be back to dealing with the dark since the time change only "shifts" the daylight portion. Thank you Ben and the railroads.MarkBC said:For those of us who can set our own schedule it's just another day...a day with 3 minutes more daylight than March 7 and 3 minutes less daylight than March 9 (in Bend, Oregon).
But I remember when it still mattered to me, an interest that ended almost 4 years ago.
How we got to now was a great PBS series.craig333 said:We could go back to when every community, region, state etc, had their own time. Thankfully the railroads put an end to that.
Time zones and DST are different things. In a sense we have gone back to the former chaos because of arbitrary and inconsistent DST adoption. The timing has changed throughout the years and states may exempt themselves as do Hawaii and parts of Arizona. DST has always been highly political with those who gain from it lobbying for, and those who lose by it lobbying against. DST is stupid, disruptive, stressful and wasteful.craig333 said:We could go back to when every community, region, state etc, had their own time. Thankfully the railroads put an end to that.
Don't you mean never DST in AZ?chnlisle said:It's always DST in AZ....
Yeah it sure does.4llamas said:Without the normal clouds and rain here in the valley, it seems like DST already.
I use the same Calendar.camelracer said:I'm not even sure what day it is.
I didn't go to work today and I'm not going to work tomorrow so it must be saturday.
