Time change weekend
Once again. Seems like we just did it 2 months ago.

Re: Time change weekend
Doesn't bother me one bit. Like it never bothered anyone back before whining became more popular. I have a Sony alarm clock by my bed. I figured I was buying quality after the old LCD clock from the '80s finally lost some "bars". This damn Sony resets itself to 14 minutes fast no matter how many times I set it. Last Monday I saw I was running late and rushed out the door. On the road I check the time and saw I was an hour earlier than I thought. Now the dang thing sets ahead 5 days early. That's a problem no matter how you slice it. Everybody needs to be on the same time no matter what it is

Re: Time change weekend
Dang it! I just bought this clock that tells time all over the world. I hope that I don't have to change all of them.

Re: Time change weekend
Yeap, my wife has a thing for clocks, so I will spend the next 3 days trying to get them all set.
My grandfather had one clock. He said "If you have one clock you always know what time it is. If you have more than one you are never quite sure."

Re: Time change weekend
lol, hopefully it’s an Automic clock and you won’t have too! I will say, I like the Automic clocks, that way they change themselves. But I really wish they would stop with the time changes and just leave it alone now. But I doubt it will happen.

Re: Time change weekend
I like this spring forward.
I wish it would stay on This Time. Or just turn it back 1/2 hour in Fall and leave it alone.

Re: Time change weekend
Most of the world is smart enough to not do daylight savings. But yeah automatic adjusting clocks are good.

Re: Time change weekend
I've been waiting for this weekend since last November. My Car Club starts hanging out again on Tuesday nights. I'm happy.

Re: Time change weekend
I believe 60% of the world uses DST. It's not used close to the Equator because their daylight varies only slightly through the year. In the far north and south they also don't, due to the extreme changes in daylight resulting in little change. A lot of people today say they'd like to see DST eliminated, but I thought everybody loves how in the summer we get daylight till 9pm and that's what they miss as the season ends. No matter what, every year we have to adjust to the variation of daylight hours. For me, adjusting to the clock change for a day or two is nothing compared to that...which we can do nothing about. Well, unless we move near the Equator. But they don't get the long days we do

Re: Time change weekend
Imho… regardless of how we feel about it, “changing time” is a stupid concept. If there’s a problem start the work day an hour earlier or later if you need to. It’s like half the year we want to allow fisherman to keep smaller fish, so let’s change the length of the standard “inch” to accommodate. Lol

Re: Time change weekend
Not quite an equal comparison. I work for myself, and outside, so that's exactly what I do. I change my start/finish time by two hours. In summer start earlier because the daylight is there and to beat the heat. I eat lunch earlier and just long enough to eat my sandwich and done by 2pm. 3pm-on is the hottest part of the day. In winter, by 8-9am the sun is above the trees, frost is melting off, and I'm still working at the warmest part of the day. Working 7-3:30 is foolish to me. Start work in the dim light and freezing cold, then pack up at the warmest part of the day. But most of the world works on a set clock. It's far more complicated for businesses to shift their schedule twice a year than everybody simply resetting the clocks. It's really not worth the time spent talking about it, if you ask me. There are bigger fish to fry

Re: Time change weekend
I think it was 60% of the world population use DST, not the world geography. Some parts of the world don't use clocks

Re: Time change weekend
Everyone must have been glad to get out of the house 'cause we had 23 cars and 2 Harleys showed up for Tuesday cruise night. The biggest meet we have had ever.

Re: Time change weekend
I heard the snow was heavy and huge and in severe thunderstorms would be coming across. Yesterday it hit 80 and was in the 60s last night. So far this month we have had only one day that wasn't pretty well above average
