NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Ugghhh. As a parent to small children, it’s especially tough because bedtime needs to be adjusted, and figure on them getting up an hour earlier too, until their internal clocks adjust...not fun. When will this WW1 invention go the way of the Dodo bird? 1
The Senator Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Ugh, that means tomorrow’s 11:30 Mass is really 10:30. Days like this, I wish I lived in Phoenix. .

Remember when DST began at the end of April? Think of all the energy we are saving thanks to G W Bush. ? "By the Energy Policy Act of 2005, daylight saving time (DST) was extended in the United States beginning in 2007. As from that year, DST begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. Previously, Daylight Saving Time started on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October."

I remember the last Sunday in April as well from my ’yute’, I was born in 1956.

This old dog is getting CRS and only has selective memory when is comes to his yute days in NJ. (I blame it on the smoke from the mosquito trucks) But I still remember that line in My Cousin Vinny.

It's plenty light in the morning now, time to get some light to the end of the day. Pushing it out a week in the fall is immaterial and allows for more daylight on Halloween.

I have been working swing-shift for almost 30 years. Just look @ Me... I am fine and a model of mental fitness! Can you believe these Snowflakes complaining about 1 measly hour of missed sleep in March. You get it back in November. /smh...

There is a 59 minute swing over the 15° of the time zone. Edited March 16, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois
