Pick one or the other and leave it alone. I'm sick of it myself. Damn freakin gooberment forcing us to do things we don't want. This used to be for the farmers benefit during the growing season but now with modern equipment, they can farm 24 hours a day if they want.

All but a few counties in the Northeast part of Indiana stayed eastern time year round (didn't change clocks) up until a few years ago. DST is a joke. Farmers never farm by the clock anyway. As we used to (and still) say; Cows and Corn can't tell time....
 
No time change here in the East Valley and no snow. A cold day forus is 40 degrees.
 
I still hate switching back from DST, but it's not so bad now that I'm retired. I used to hate getting stuck working late in the winter. I don't care how well equipped you are, it's just a pain in the *** doing utility work in the dark.
 
A downside of having dst extended as it was or if it was year round, is in my opinion a safety concern for kids standing in the dark, waiting for a school bus in the morning. ( btw) It was originally started to save energy. I think the farmers were against it.
 
Look at the bright side of things. In 8 weeks the days start getting longer regardless of where your clocks are set! Just sayin!

I'm with you on that one Bro. This time of year I find depressing as all get out. Besides either back or forwards I am a wreck for a couple of days the older I get. And today I feel like crap!!!! Everything is off kilter. March will be here before we all know it and then I will feel like crap for a couple of days and revel in the longer sunshine......cr8crshr/Tuck
 
Yup with the twisters, poisonous spiders and snakes. No thanks,i'll take the snow and sub zero temps any day.

You could move to Oklahoma where we hardly ever see freezing temps and you could drive your Mopar year around.:thinker:
 
I've always thought "halfway" and leave it would be the best compromise.

I think it would screw with the rest of the world too much for us to be 1/2 hour off, rather than a full hour (or not).

Move to Newfoundland
 
Minus on regular time--go to work in the dark and come home in the dark , inside out of the sun all day, SUCKS ! Plus on DST--You can get a lot done before dark work or play, more cruising time before dark which bring out the deer, Too much shortage of sunshine depresses me. I would rather have DST year round. I would hate to live near a time zone change, that would really be a PITA !!!....MO
 
Few more weeks it will be dark shortly after 4 here! That sucks!

I used to love the extra hour we had to run across the OH/IN border to buy that last case of beer.

When they changed the set back time a few years ago, they really screwed folks that have a large amount of firmware driven devices that have the automatic switchover date built in. We had 2000 switches to update. Thanks!

I used to work at a 1000 room resort and had to argue yearly with the "supervisors' to just leave the light timers alone.
Without fail, I'd lose (because I was 21, and they were "supervisors"), and every year they'd scramble around resetting all the times and every year I'd run around behind them moving them back to where they were, and invariably I'd miss some and the lights wouldn't come on. Idiots.
 
Personally, I'd rather have the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day instead of the morning.

Stay at Standard Time year-round and be done with it.
 
Up her in the frozen tundra of Saskatchewan we don't change time (yet!!) people still bitchand moan that when we call people in the next province they forget the time difference. I love that we don't change and hope we never do.
 
Sure, snume, Saskatchewan gets more hours of sunlight each year than any other province, so you guys don't have to save any. )
 
Being a young guy, when they forced us in Indiana to switch over to DS I never could understand it. Sure it was nice being able to work late into the night during the summer....but there was no down time at night like we have now when it gets dark!! Besides when it comes harvesting time it doesn't matter how early or late the sun rises/sets because until the dew is off...you don't harvest. And when the dew starts to set in at night, the farmers stop runnin!
 
I just want to be perfectly blunt..........F@*K DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Livestock wristwatches......

I would swear that my animals wear wrist watches that they pull their fur/hair over when they see us looking. My donkey brays at exactly the same time everyday. My collie walks up to my easy chair and plunks her old snout down on the arm and stares at me with her eyebrows waggling back and forth at the same time. The sheep begin pacing back and forth by the fenced pasture gate at EXACTLY the same time every day, all regardless of having set the clock back. I don't know how they do it but I've been spying covertly for a day or two and a couple of the sheep and maybe one duck have been acting very suspiciously.....
