Why time change?

[VorTexan]

One of the primary reasons for the change was so our children would not be in the dark at the bus stop.

they got flashlights! And that's for tough kids in the country. City kids don't need sunlight!

I don't remember exactly who, but it was probably about that time frame. I remember seeing a supposed quote from an Indian guy a while back that said "Only a white man would think that you could make a blanket longer by cutting a foot off the top and adding it to the bottom." Made me laugh because that's kinda the way I fell about it

And farmers go by dawn and dusk, daylight. Time on a clock is irrelevant.

IIRC it was originally put in place to help farmers with having the most daylight year round (or something to that affect). It really has no place in modern society and is more of a headache than anything else. I know AZ doesn't acknowledge it but I don't remember the other states that don't

Arizona and Hawaii don't do the daylight savings time thing.

I hate it when daylight savings time ends. I don't mind going to work in the dark but I hate going home in the dark too. No time to do home chores.

It's now probably tied up in Obama Care!!

[Ouch]

It's Bush's fault.

[bsills]

In no way does DST add more daylight to the day, just changes what time you start seeing it and quit seeing it. I want it gone also. Like others said I have no problem going to work in the dark but I hate getting home that late. No time for honey do's or playing outside with the little ones.

Yeah, I forgot to change the timer on my feeder and showed up with deer on my corn already

[pyrobow]

We are now on standard time. This is the schedule we would all year without DST. Those that are talking about not liking to go home with no light left, I agree, but this is normal time.

How did your timer know daylight savings time ended? It should have gone off at the same time relative to sunrise as it did the day before...

It sounds like he feeder timer stayed the same but he changed his clock and got up at the wrong time..

[Dr. Evil]

It sucks,and I dont remember why...There's a state or two that don't "celebrate" D.L.T"..Pretty sure Arizona doesn't recognise it...

I think Hawaii is the other.

what kind of timer are you using?

[SmTx]

My biggest complaint is that it sure does mess up my beer drinking schedule. It's dark out lets drink a couple beers. Then you realize it's only 6.

[Man]

Its racist...
