This clock changing is dumb. Arizona doesn't do the clock nonsense and they do just fine. Time for this archaic idea to end.

Ya know.....people who work for a living just might like having an hour or two of daylight once they get home from work, and school students deserve to see some daylight too.

The piety of early-morning people without a job to go to gets to be quite nauseating.

Doesn't matter, I guess. I love daylight though!!!

Days would automatically get longer as earth's axis changes and we approach the summer solstice and get shorter as we approach the winter equinox. No need for artificial maneuvering with this clock changing. The people of 1916 (the year before this started) did just fine.

Wow I never dreamed I'd be in the minority on this one. I'm not a fan at all :ohdear: It messes with my sleep for almost a week. I'd be OK if we could always move them back an hour :clap2::clap2: That was meant as a joke so no one needs to write back to explain to me why that wouldn't pan out for me. :icon_wink:

As a side I LOVE thevillagechicken's Indian picture(on page 2)!!! Agree with Shimpy as well.

Don't you all think that he folks up north could really use the extra hour of sunlight to melt all the snow (:a040:only kidding).

The clock on the bike will be right for the next 6 months.:a040:

YAH, but lets hope it don't cause flooding if it melts too fast !!! :jester:

Can only hope the Extra hour of sunlight won't burn up the crops in
the Midwest--or-- prolong the drought in So Cal ?:oops:

There was actually a woman that wrote into a local newspaper complaining that the extra hour of daylight was burning up her lawn and wanted to eliminate the time change.

Sounds like the lady who wanted the deer crossing signs moved off of her street so they would cross somewhere else.

I hate the time changing twice a year, don't you? Lose an hour, gain an hour, screws up everything either way!

There is currently a bill in the Florida House and another bill in the Florida Senate to eliminate the time changing in Florida. Supporters of the two bills are asking people to contact their House Representatives and State Senators.

Well, if they must get rid of one of them, thank goodness it's the EST.

My dog knows when it's 6:00- feeding time. He doesn't have a clue about changing clocks so when 6 rolls around he wants to be fed. Is it 5:00 or is he right, it's still 6? Can you argue with a dog's stomach that is flawless in telling time? I don't think so. He hasn't been off by more than 3 minutes yet. And he'll get vocal until he's fed. I vote for NOT changing clocks until you can teach an old dog to tell time.
