    And, plus side, ACTUAL spring is only two weeks away.

    I hate daylight savings. I’m going to bed an hour early so I don’t wake up an hour late!

    I guess we are stuck with DST now, since Congress passed the no return policy.

    Janis does not always appreciate it when Arlo waxes poetic. Not first thing in the morning, anyway.

    We’ve already had high seventies weather. I’ve got a bad feeling spring is going to be short again.

    I forgot to change the thermostat clock last night so got up to a cold house – 57 degrees F

    I prefer Standard Time. But please just make one stay year round.

    The bozos in the government might think DST is a good idea, but the Sun knows. And so does my internal clock.

    DST is an assault on the American people by twice-yearly disruption of everyones’ circadian rhythms.

    Twice a year, the government says “We are going to stop all this time change stuff” NEVER has happened.

    It should be Standard Time all year. Enough of this messing with our sleep schedules.

    I don’t like the time changes. For crying out loud, pick one or the other and stick with it.

    We are traveling, so this morning we lost an hour of sleep in Texas, but will gain an hour when we cross over in to New Mexico, and then another hour getting home to eastern Arizona.

    If I am making sense I might not be as befuddled as I feel.

    Extreme night owl here. I actually sleep during what other people call day time. Now that I have retired, the time change is less bothersome. Time may or may not be an illusion. How we describe it only matters if you are running late.

    DST wouldn’t be so popular if we called it “the time of year when we start getting up one hour earlier.”

    What we should do is spring forward every day at noon and fall back again at midnight. Just don’t tell your employer.

    Nothing wrong with that! Nobody needs sunlight at 4:30 a.m. Really! They don’t!

    “Actual spring”. The year we got married it snowed 27 inches on my wife’s birthday… June thirteenth. Actual spring is when I won’t have to shovel snow again until around October.

    And to further complicate matters, I have many friends in Europe that I communicate with via Skype or Zoom. They also switch to “summer time”, but a couple of weeks later than the US, so there are a couple of weeks during which the difference between our time zones is an hour different from “normal”. Similarly in the fall.

    And if someone forgets about the different difference, what ensues is not hilarity.

    I live just inside Central Time Zone so in December and January the sun sets 4:30 to 5:00, and on cloudy days which seem to be all the time, it is starts to get dark at 4:00. I love Daylight Savings Time because the sun didn’t set until 6:30 today compared to 5:30 yesterday. During the summer months the sum doesn’t set till about 8:00 so you have more daylight hours after work to get things done outside, or just enjoy the extra daylight hours.

    Liking or disliking DST most likely corrolates with whether you are a night owl or a morning person.My preference would be DST year round (yes, I’m a night owl) but it makes less difference to me now that I’m retired.

    Living where time zone straddle a state must be interesting. We drove over a ridge in Tennessee (crossed a county line) and were an hour early for an appointment. Conversely, we left my sister’s house in Northern IL hoping to get late supper at a restaurant in MI, only to arrive and find the restaurant had closed.

    Apparently they left it on Daylight savings time during WW2. Problem was that there were places where the sun would not be up until 9am.
