Hey TRF'ers! Just a friendly reminder that daylight saving time begins this Sunday on March 10th.
Don't forget to turn your clocks 'forward'.

I really wish they would cut this crap out and just leave it at the spring ahead time, which gives us more light in the day all year around. The fall back is so unnecessary as everyone and their mother keeps complaining. Those old farming rules no longer apply; well not in my mind anyway. But, Source, I so appreciate the reminder.  I truly do. |

...which gives us more light in the day all year around. But, Source, I so appreciate the reminder. I truly do. DST does not change the amount of light in the day. All it changes is how much light each of us chooses to see. I enjoy DST for playing golf. We tee off early a.m. If we're first off the tee, we are done while it is an hour cooler. Seems to me they need to leave it one way or the other. The challenge is with the body making the one-hour change in sleeping habits. Of course... at my age... I sleep when I want to!!!!  |

Of course, it changes the amount of light, that was one of the purposed they first instated it. It was implemented so people could make better use of light and save money as well on things like fuel and lighting. Besides it naturally gets darker earlier come fall and lighter come spring. The farming, the agricultural industry didn't want this DST thing, they were very much against the idea. In the US they protested and won to no longer have it be a national requirement in. So some states have opted out, I would love to be in one of those places though it just throws off time zones everywhere for everyone having to keep up with it all. What a mess. Now as far as golfing, yep, they love it for that purpose, and I wouldn't be surprised if such folks lobbied to keep the DST for that purpose. I can especially see Florida folks holding up pitch folks protesting to keep DST.  I can't say as a kid and a teen I didn't look forward to the longer summer daytime light, it meant I could spend more time outdoors participating in all kinds of fun activities, especially at the beach. Guess I can't really blame golfers when I think of it that way. Still, fix it to be one way or the other. |

Well I'll be darned, look what I found. I actually like that Florida wants to stay a one timezone state. Hmmmm incentive to get me to move back, but then what will I do when trying to keep up with all my tv shows. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/100-years-later-madness-daylight-saving-time-endures-180968435/"One hundred years after Congress passed the first daylight saving legislation, lawmakers in Florida this week passed the “Sunshine Protection Act,” which will make daylight saving a year-round reality in the Sunshine State. If approved by the federal government, this will effectively move Florida’s residents one time zone to the east, aligning cities from Jacksonville to Miami with Nova Scotia rather than New York and Washington, D.C. The cost of rescheduling international and interstate business and commerce hasn’t been calculated. Instead, relying on the same overly optimistic math that led the original proponents of daylight saving to predict vast energy savings, crisper farm products harvested before the morning dew dried and lessened eye strain for industrial workers, Florida legislators are lauding the benefits of putting “more sunshine in our lives.” It’s absurd – and fitting – that a century later, opponents and supporters of daylight saving are still not sure exactly what it does. Despite its name, daylight saving has never saved anyone anything. But it has proven to be a fantastically effective retail spending plan." |

Set the clocks ahead an hour and never set them back again... Wishful anyways. No real reason the set back and forward nowadays, IMO. Know what? The clock in my bedroom is right half the year.
