Daylight Savings Time

Post by Coolbreeze44 »

I love it and believe the minor inconvenience of changing clocks twice a year is a non issue. What do you think?

I was based in Yuma Arizona for three years, no DST, it was awesome. It meant the bars were open an extra hour across the border in California part of the year!

Interesting I'm genuinely curious why do you love it?

Personally it doesn't bother me too much but as I get older I do not do as well with time changes or whatever reasonably significant change in a routine. That's not really enough for me to be actively trying to get it to change. In general it's doesn't matter to me one way or another but I hear MUCH more from people that hate it so I'm curious to hear from you why you like it!

It really feels like a rite of spring when you get that extra hour of daylight in March. And then I love summer nights where you don't have sunset until 9:00. I don't even mind the short days of winter, especially leading up to Christmas. It's always been this way for me and I'm a bit of a nostalgist.

Thanks for the reply! Bringing up nostalgia reminds me of when I was a kid and was supposed to go to bed in the summer and... It was still so bright out. Lol Going to sleep when I was supposed to has never been easy for me but that didn't help.
