In order to get the bait to go fishing the best time is just as the sun is coming up. The sun was coming up around 6:30 which meant I had to get up
out of bed at 5:00 to make it to the ramp by 6:00.
Now with the change, the sun comes up around 7:15 which means I can sleep until around 6:00 A.M. VS 5:00 A.M.
Nuff said, I'm all for it!
Forgot about that it will reverse itself again, live for the moment!
Class, any questions?

In Anchorage, we double down on dumb! There used to be a two hour time difference between Juneau (the only state capitol with a moat) and the
population center in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
In order to end the ridiculous lack of co-ordination of working hours, both times zones were shifted toward each other. So Anchorage is in permanent
DST, with an extra hour tacked on in the spring!
After a long winter of starting work in the dark, And the sun finally rises by staring time, WHAM, back in the dark! Then the sun stays up long
enough to mess with your sleep.
12:00 noon should happen at the mid point of daylight hours!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
Daylight Savings time sure makes driving through Arizona a bit difficult if anyone is really interested in what time it is. Arizona does not follow
Daylight Savings Time, but the Navajo Nation does, and then the Hopi Nation that is surrounded by the Navajo Nation does not.
I was a San Diego firefighter and I had to have a watch. I retired 22 years ago and on the day I retired I threw away my watch and have not missed it
since. Who cares what time it is. I'll get there when I get there, maybe.

..and then ther's BC and BC Sur both on the same pennisula but with an hour difference in time and changing the clocks at different times each year.

Flashback to a great group.....
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Chicago
As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was
on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had
stopped cold dead
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh, so I just don't know,
I just don't know
And I said, yes I said

Back in the 90s, I worked for Cray Research Inc., a company that made supercomputers. We dreaded Daylight Savings Time, and had issues every time the
clock was set ahead or rolled back. You'd be surprised how confused a $32 million dollar computer can get when you mess with it.
Fine with me if it is left at the Daylight time all year! It is Daylight time most of the year as it is now. Start school an hour later if it is too
dark for little kids in the winter.
Gets fun down here in Mulege as Baja Sur has a different shift date than Baja Norte.
The hams used to stay on GMT but now the average ham is 300 years old and has three microwaves and two VHS player flashing 12:00 all the time. The
instruction books were thrown out with the papers announcing the Harding presidential landslide.
What I like about DST is that it puts the start of the east coast sporting events (especially baseball, of course!) an hour earlier.
I do like not moving the clock, from season to season.
But, as mentioned before, it sure is strange to sometimes deal with an area that is WEST of us that is actually an hour AHEAD of us. That would be
BCS, which is in the Mtn Time Zone but observes DST.
I've posted this a couple of times. It describes the complexity of the current system. I prefer daylight in the mornings so I dislike it when we
"spring ahead".
One of my fondest memories involves watching the sun rise while I was in bed and listening to the birds chirp outside my open window. I knew that I'd
be up having b'fast and heading to school with spring fresh in my step.
I can enjoy that same scenario now that I'm retired but my sons were raised on DST schedules for themselves and their parents who had to maintain the
discipline to keep on a tight track. It's a clear manipulation of our personal time and space.
Daylight Savings Time sux, exclamation point!

Back in the late 50s I worked with the Sperry Rand UNIVAC walk in reel-to-reel computer and it had to be even worse than the Cray plus you had to suit
up in clean room coveralls and booties to go inside and access it. My only job was to carry in the stacks of IBM punch cards that the ladies worked
all night long making.
