Daylight savings time

well as luck would have it I thought that my clock radio knew this Daylight Savings BS. It didn't. I was OK'd for a Sunday nuisance deer hunt today and got up at 4 instead of 5. However, I saw my first deer this morning before I normally would have even been there. No shot, too many trees and the damn thing sensed me and turned tail. an hour later another arrived but saw me b4 I saw him. He also ran like hell but only for about 30 yards and then stopped, turned broadside and looked back at me. will be picking up the venison at my butcher tomorrow or Tuesday.

Sharing is caring ??
 
... and the horse you rode in on...lol. this household LOVES venison on the barbie and this was not a good sized deer. If not on a nuisance permit, he would have kept on walking away.

We took away an hour in the spring. It didn't help much. :unsure:

Someone wrote an entire book on the subject, basically destroying the myth that it saves energy. The core of it was that with more daylight available people actually engaged in more energy consumptive activities than they would have if it got dark earlier. Also the switch to highly efficient LED lighting has negated the archaic argument that was based on the high energy consumption of incandescent light. I believe air conditioning is a more significant factor and has been for quite a while.

Personally, I'd accept either/or. But please, just pick one and stop farking around with the clocks.

I'm also going to disparage the thread title,.. It's Daylight Saving Time,... Not Savings time, like visiting the Bailey's Building and Loan. If we could bank it, I'd be all for it.

Title staying the same dont care about nit picking
 
Woke up this Morning looked at the clock it said 9:30. Dang I said to my self I never sleep that late. When the fog cleared I realized that I set the clocks one hour ahead; a senior moment.:( There might also have been a cocktail or two involved.:unsure:

Why are you asking me that question. Look it up. All I am telling you is that with daylight saving time once we put the clocks back which we did Nov 1, the time is where it would be if we didn't have it at all. So your analogy of the sunrise coming at 8:20 on December 21 is wrong. It is a simple concept. We are back to what time it would be with or without it.

But he is right. We are now on Standard Time. Daylight Savings Time starts in the spring. Without it, early summer sunrise would be 4:30 am. Sunset would be 7:30 pm. Your house lights, street lights, ect would go on an hour earlier and burn more electricity until you went to bed. You would be sound asleep at 4:30, 5:30 am ect wasting all of mother nature's day light.

I think Ben Franklin got it right. I like the extra day light in the summer. It saves whale oil and candle wax (according to Ben.)

Years ago I spent a lot of time in Singapore. Right on the equator. 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. I would go there in July and get freaked out by the sun going down at 6:00PM.
