Time Change ?

Russ - 10-24-2016 at 05:28 AM

When do we move the clocks back? Seems like it should be real soon.

Rainer - 10-24-2016 at 05:32 AM

Nov 6

Russ - 10-24-2016 at 05:55 AM

Thanks
The US and Mex change the same day? That's a first, I think.
Just got an e-mail from a friend that read this. She said that Mex changes next week, the 30th

Nope, don't do it!

The time change for your/our area in Baja is October 30th!

Russ, this is a public information message as I don't want you to be late for one of your important meetings! :biggrin:

As explained on this website, most of Mexico conforms to how Daylight Savings Time used to work prior to 2007. Starting then, clocks were set an hour forward two weeks earlier and set an hour back one week later. Thank you, George W!

I wish the whole year stayed on Daylight Savings... losing an hour of daylight, when the days are getting shorter anyway, is just such a pain. To not have any daylight to enjoy the outdoors after work each day is tough with a California lifestyle! Most of the year is Daylight Savings, anyway... so make it Standard Time here, and all year long. If they are concerned with kids going to school in the dark then start school an hour later!

There is no hour of daylight lost. We can't change the orbit, tilt, or rotation of the earth yet. Just shift your day an hour to compensate for the time change, i.e. get up an hour earlier, eat meals an hour earlier, go to work an hour earlier, go to bed an hour earlier.

Yeah, that would work----------IF EVERYBODY DID IT, ALSO. LOL

I am with David.

Can Happy Hour start an hour earlier?

I like the time change. It's tradition!
I like the early darkness in winter, the later light in summer
We lack seasons here in so cal, and the time change gives us a little taste of the seasons we are deprived of.

Hmmmmmmm------having lived in Glacier Natl. Park, N. Montana for a year, I can do without snow and winter darkness----not fond memories for me. Brrrrrrrrr!!! LOL (to each his own)


David K - 10-24-2016 at 01:04 PM

Barry, if you are like Goat, you don't have a job or a family you value some fun outdoor time with, perhaps?

The days are naturally shorter in the winter, why ADD another hour of darkness by moving the clock in the wrong direction for winter?

This is just chit-chat, I am not expecting Donald to propose the change in his first 100 days!

You can bet on line, I won't tell you where.
$1 on Hillary wins $0.18 for her election.
$1 on Trump wins $3.50 for his election.

Vegas is pretty accurate so I'd say the POTUS election is no longer in play, Trump will continue to milk his business prospects.

Daylight savings time ends on November 6. It's always on the first Sunday in November after Congress extended it about 5 years back. Baja California is now synchronized with California because of the large number of people who cross the border in both directions and the resulting confusion during the 2 or 3 weeks in the spring and fall when there was a time change crossing the border in California. Binational business people in San Diego and Tijuana hated it.

I'm not sure about BC Sur or the rest of Mexico. Daylight savings is problematic in Mexico City because it's so far south, as there isn't as much difference between the day length during the summer and winter. There was a recent attempt in California to get rid of daylight savings altogether. It failed.

A racist statement for sure!!!!! LOL

For those that want to work, It is OK to change your work hours and not worry about daylight Savings.

Barry, it is okay for people who vote like mtgoat666 to be racist and divide the people by skin color into groups! They created the KKK, after all. Hypocrisy triumphs with the left.
Back on topic: It will be TIME for a CHANGE so the economy works for everyone, not just the elites (real 1%ers) and government employees!


Back on topic. Does that mean that once Hillary has been sworn in, You can quit worrying about the Presidency and go back to work?

It all started with te Navajo tribe that traditionally cut 12 inches off the top of their blankets every Spring to make it cooler and appear to be longer. Then every Fall they would reverse the process to make the blakets warmerand appear to be shorter.

I think bob is trying to say...

"When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’ "

“An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later.” -- Winston Churchill
