It's that time again 😐

I hope Ontario will never change the DST. I like that it is lighter at night when we change in the spring. As for adjustments...well they are a fact of life...get over it.

 

[oscash]

don't think we do this in Australia do we? - any local aussies confirm?

Smiley: Of course we do every 6 months.

 

[Michael Z]

It’s nice for people with jobs - more time in the evening for outside activities.

But for retired folks, it is pretty much meaningless except for evening driving.

I will be glad for the change. Never have become accustomed to the fall back. By 8pm, I am ready to retire for the evening but then am up by 3am. At least maybe now it will be 4 am when I get up.

Is that in Australia?

Exactly. Same here.

I'll check back in on November 1st to say the same .

I know I say this twice a year but it is a huge PITA for those of us who live in Arizona (outside of the Navajo Nation ) when you all change your time.

I don't know why people make such a fuss. Spring forward, fall back. You lose an hour, then later in the year, get it back. So what? I don't care if it stays the same in my state, or change to where we keep the same time throughout the year. It's a minor inconvenience, at best. There are more important things to think about. That's how I have always felt. It's just not an issue with me.

I don't like the time change because I don't like it getting dark so darn early. I have to walk places now ,so I don't have a car and it's not safe anywhere anyway and I am a woman so it's more dangerous for us to be walking in the dark.

This Spring time change doesn't bother me as much as the autumn one.

Ditto ....!!

I prefer the darker mornings. When it is warmer, I can sit on the porch with coffee without being stabbed in the eyeballs by the sun.

Time for bed.

Welp, I forgot about this crud till I was in bed, so
I just now reset my 3 clocks forward an hour...okay....

 

[Imogene]

The girls on the morning news are just as bright & bubbly as usual and they are also as neatly coiffed as usual.

I think “spring ahead” day should be a non-working holiday for the majority of those who have to work. The news media could provide something canned at least until noon

Until we see daylight at the new 5:45 AM, I am going to set my phone alarm back an hour unless I have to be somewhere that day. I set my alarm to be sure I’m not late to the barn in the morning.

 

[RuralKanuck]

I wonder how many folks spring ahead and how many just stumble forward, I have been n hour early all winter so its nice that the rest of the group has now joined me….....

I've got a LOT of work to do in the front yard this morning. Maybe the neighbors will help.
