Everyone, don’t forget to set your clocks back tomorrow night. I think the only state that doesn’t observe the " Spring Forward, Fall Back" is Arizona now.
Just wanted to be sure and refresh everyone’s memory! Don’t want anyone to be early early getting where you need to be Sunday morning.[:)]
and the explanation I got from an Arizonian was “we have enough sun already, we don’t need to save anymore.”
We have so many clocks, I start resetting them on Friday afternoon. Drives my husband nuts! [:-,]
Thanks for the reminder, I actually like it getting dark a little earlier. People think I’m weird for this but when it’s dark I don’t have to see them.
Tell “Driver” I agree! (but it doesn’t drive me “Nuts”, just crazier than I already am!)
Some here don’t even get set ahead, we just subtract that hour in our minds.
I may sound like an old codger here (OK I’m almost one anyway), but it would be fine with me if they just did away with daylight savings time anyway.

I second that. I can set all my clocks in a couple minutes except for the biological one. That one seems to take a few days. Why don’t we just split that hour and leave our clocks the same all year?
Or-- we could just make all of our clocks creep ahead or behind gradually all year long. That way no two seconds would be the same duration, but we would never know the difference as the time changed.
There you all go again… messing with time. If Einstein wasn’t dead and Hawkins wasn’t confined to a wheel chair, there would be hell to pay.
I don’t mind the fall change. I get to sleep an hour later and nobody knows the difference.
I say mess with time if we need to work out the fine points of daylight. Otherwise leave it alone. This spring ahead, fall back nonsense has got to stop.
…fell over!
Ahh, back to God’s time… central STANDARD! I agree, daylight savings time doesn’t really mean much. So we set our clocks ahead and back again. Do we really get any more daylight than we would naturally? Noooo…[:-^] It’s always nice to go back to standard time.
Define “Old Codger”!
(anybody over 50, closer to 60 comes close to that description.)
Why does the government have to mess with the clocks anyway?!
Yes, there was ONE intelligent state legislature in 1966–Arizona’s.
We are told that there is an energy saving effected by cutting one end off the blanket and sewing it to the other end. (If your blanket is not long enough to cover you from head to toe, you cut one end off and sew it to the other and thenit will be long enough.) Has anybody seen the numbers on this?
Since we are retired, we can start moving towards the change ten minutes a day so it does not hit us all at once. You who must still get up in the morning can do this in the spring, but you should not try it in the fall.
I wonder if people said that when the railroads instituted standard time way back when…
T&E people already compain about all the extra “stuff” they have to carry in an extra grip. Timetables, rule books, extra radio batteries… can you imagine the complaints if they had to add a sundial?
They did, and that’s why we’re here discussing it (cussing it) now.[%-)]
Yes, it certainly is time (tonight before we each go to sleep) to “fall back” our clocks, but BE AWARE that (proven fact) a large percentage of heart attacks happen just as folks are getting out of bed in the morning AND (again proven fact) that the incidents of heart attacks increase an average of 5% just after the switch from Daylight Savings Time at this time of the year and again when we “spring ahead” again…SO be careful and use caution when rising up out of bed in the morning…we all want ALL OF US around for a very long time.
CSXRules4eva(Sarah) just finished qualifying for RCO and is looking for
a larger “grip”, but didn’t mention the “sundial”, however, she said she’d
like to have more sleep before the caller calls her.
This is both interesting and disturbing. I don’t understand how the time change would affect this but will not argue with facts.
