Daylight savings....keep it or can it?

[Displaced Texan]

Doesn't "fall back" mean back to normal time before daylight savings??
In any case, I'd like it to stay "back" year round, the daylight is much more "centered" on normal waking hours year round than when pushed forward an hour. But that's just me, I hate daylight till 9:30 at night.

At it's lowest, daylight is 9:27 long (sun rise to set)
At it's longest it's 14:51 (midwest of course)

Now that I am smoking briskets from about 2-3 PM til a good bark has set in around 8-10 PM, and I live further north than you, so only warm weather cooks for me, I love that daylight until late. I know St. Louis is cold, too.

Good for late golfing, too!

Hey, Congress: It ain’t broke. Don’t “fix” it!

Same on this side of the border, the government talks about it every year that I can remember, and that's a lot of clock changing.
To me everyone gets all bent out of shape around here ( Canada ) .
but no one has any great ideas when asked , " well which one should be stick with. " We have at least 1 province that does not change and they seem fine.
But I myself do not have a problem with the changing of the clocks. does not seem to mess with my days or work. when I'm tired I sleep , if I have to work later or earlier at a job I do. It is not that big of a deal, JUST everyone makes too big of a deal about it.

But that is me , ( even in my family there is lots of crying on about it ) because it gives them something else to complain about.

I'm with Marknmd , just let it go . Change the clocks twice a year and deal with it .

I'm done now , everyone carry on. LOL

I should have mentioned... at least I remember how to change the clock on all my vehicles now instead of having to look it up!

This is the only clock that really matters.

When the sun it at its zenith then it's 12:00 noon. Take a location in the middle of your time zones with respect to east and west, pick the same day for all time zones, and declare that to be 12:00 noon for that time zone. Then stay at that. You might have to have one adjustment of a couple of minutes +/- so that the start of 12:00 noon is the start of the GMT hour and you'd have to have the leap year adjustment the world follows but that's okay.

You are right Warren. It's clear that there are too many differing points of view on this issue to ever make everyone happy. I guess there's no perfect solution. I don't want kids to have to walk to the bus stop in the dark...but I sure like having more daylight at the end of the day.

Red we already have high school kids that get on the bus 6:30 in the morining and agree with your thoughts.

Like I said once before, it's 5PM somewhere in the world. I bet that's a fun place to go, do they make a good IPA?

a buddy of mine once had an idea for a clock that only had minutes and a location of where it was 5pm.

Your buddy is a genius. It is ALWAYS 5pm somewhere!

Crazy topic . I like keeping it lighter later in summer and the opposite in winter so I’m all for it! Will admit having 3 kids ages of 2, 6 and 13 it is a bit of a struggle ( for the younger ones at least) getting them to stay on a bedtime schedule!
