Also a good time to change the batteries in your battery operated clocks and your fire/smoke alarms.

As well as a good time for renaming the eleventh month "Thanksgiving Month" - it is hard to be stressed out when you have a thankful heart!

I am not sure we need the daylight saving now.
I don't like the extra 2 times to adjust the clock.
But I am not an expert to judge this so I will just follow it.

Thank you to the mod that cleaned up the title. I forgot the "OT"

I wish there was a dislike button for this thread - not because I hate the thread I just hate daylight savings going away. I think changing clocks make very little sense. I suppose if following the sun then standard time is the correct variation based on UTC. I guess I could live with that year round if I could just change my internal clock to see as much sunlight as possible.

As you know, we don't change in Arizona. Mountain Standard Time year round. But it does affect start times for NFL games, which we watch a lot of.

You should consider moving to Arizona or Hawaii, the two states in the U.S. that don’t observe DST.

As for me, I love that extra hour lying in bed.

Yeah, but I hate it getting dark so early in the evenings.

Make sure you turn back the clocks at 2A.M. or it won't work...

Does the change in time really affect you when you've retired? I know it's ten pm because the news is coming on and I know it's nine am because my wife tells me coffee is ready.

if you like to sleep late it will since it gets light earlier...

The real root cause of the problem isn't changing the clocks, it's the sun. Can't someone do something about that?? BY'ers should organize...

 

[Jim]

Just what I need, another hour of 2020.

I wish 2020 ended Sunday. F%#$ Daylight Savings time and F#$% 2020.

in 2020, I would not try to tempt fate.

 

[Kaizen]

I wish 2020 ended Sunday.

Me too. This is a very bad year and wish it ends soon.

Well, there was one good thing that came out of 2020. It was

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg. Ain't nothing good about this miscarriage of a year.

Personally I'd prefer staying on DST all year around. Not a big fan of EST, much prefer AST around here anyway.

Yea, that's the worst part of it. Having to get up at 2 in the morning to set all the clocks.

If I thought 2021 would be better I would agree....

Europe changed the clocks last week. All the soccer games are an hour later today.

Yeah. But just think about all those happy evening dinners after the Dukies have won their 6th or 7th in a row and are on the verge of being on the Dance card.

When I played golf regularly I could tee off at 7:00pm with a cart and get in 18 before it got too dark.
