O/T. I so don't like daylight savings time.

This morning it was dark when I had to start feeding horses at 7:45 am. Now this afternoon, I am sitting here looking out the window. My clock says it is 5 pm, and I am thinking "ok, so at this time yesterday it was 4 pm and I have another hour before I can start feeding horses to keep my schedule, but then I am going to miss church tonight". I hate daylight savings time.

Rant over:-)

why does that 1hr seem like 5?!unbelievable!!!

I think the time change in the winter is worse . . .

Because it just seems like its 'dark' all of the time (I go to work at 5am, so its dark) and then its dark about 4pm !

I dont mind the other direction in the spring :)

DLS

Submitted by omegabulldogs on March 12, 2012 - 11:47am.

Now that we are only "off" DLS for 4 mos (clocks change again 11/4) I don't know why it is necessary to change time. Why not just keep DLS year round and then no readjustment in schedules are necessary. And why is AZ exempt from DLS?

I love DLS.

In the winter it gets dark at 4:30. Because of DLS, it won't get dark until after 7:00 now and 9:00 at the solstice. I can walk the dog, sit on the deck and sip wine, bike to the store, garden or show houses to clients without it being dark and cold. Not so good for the farmers, but I love it.
