Daylight savings time

[Eddie]

Utah will have 2 separate bills before its state legislature this year.

1 is to fall back and never spring forward again - staying on regular time. The second is to stay sprung forward and not fall back any more, staying on daylight savings time.

They said that the country clubs are against one of them, saying it will cost them $24 million a year in lost golf time. I'm trying to decide if they're afraid of losing morning golfers, or evening ones.

The only way that opposition would make sense would that they are against changing from what we are doing now. Which is daylight savings during the summer. So I would guess they are in favor of year-round daylight savings.

My only opposition to daylight savings time is that few people seem to know when to use CST and CDT

UtahDan was on a huge anti-daylight savings time kick on FB last spring.

I think it's mostly that he gets annoyed when people say savings instead of saving. On the other hand, he still says whole nother, so he's a hypocrite.

Only three more clocks to reset and I'm all caught up. At least in the spring you only have to add one to the hour on each one and you're done. The clocks that don't go backward have to go ahead by 23 in the fall.

Oh wait! Four clocks. My Garmin GPS unit needs to know the timezone and whether or not daylight saving is in effect. The automatic setting seems rather broken. You would think that a GPS unit, of all electronic devices, would have the easiest time knowing what time it is wherever it is at. That's what I get for running a ten year old unit.

Still hate springing forward. This is killing me.

Spring forward isn’t bad. I seriously don’t understand all the angst about it.

Especially with kids. They sleep in an hour more than they normally would.

Except this year, alas.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I vote for daylight savings all year.

I'm working on 5 1/2 hours sleep instead of 7 1/2 hours.

I got your angst right here.

One or the other, let's just pick one and stay with it.

I wonder what would have happened if you had set an alarm for 2:30 am today. Hmmm....

It depends on where you live. If you actually look at the sunrise and sunset times, there is a great case for leaving the status quo. If we had daylight savings in the winter, the sun wouldn't be up (in the Salt Lake area) until about 8:30am. That's way late for kids trying to get to school. And sunrise in midsummer without daylight savings is about 4:30. Who wants the sun in their eyes at that time of day?

I had a dairy farmer brother-in-law who hated the changes because the cows demanded to be milked every 12 hours or their udders would be painfully full. So he'd have to get up on their schedule.

OK, fine. Leave it.
