I was marking my calendar for upcoming March Appointments, and I noticed that on Sunday, March 12th, America will go into Daylight Savings Time. It was just 4 months ago that the hour went backwards. One third of the year is Standard, the other two thirds is Daylight Savings. Arizona says we ain't a Changing! Never. Perhaps a good idea for all States. Changing clocks once again. A bummer.

Time to simply leave us on one or the other. I don't really care which. I'm tired of constantly changing from one to the other.

my parents never had a problem with daylight savings time:
If it was daylight they said "you kids get out of the house" and
if it was dark they said "you kids get in the house."

I agree. I wish they'd leave it alone. We should just stay on the same time as AZ

Our state legislature here in Colorado is kicking around the idea of year round daylight savings time. I hope they are intelligent enough to enact this legislation.

daylight savings made some sense back when a lot of manufacturing facilities depended on natural light
but now adays government buildings are about the only places that close at dark.

When the UK tried stopping it there was apparently a significant number of accidents involving children walking to school in the dark so they kept it.
Now the problem is with too many parents driving their children to school.
I reckon it is all the schools fault.

I'm not a "certified" Hogger yet, but I look forward to becoming one soon — just feeling my way for now.
Quick reply? Sure. I strongly agree with the above sentiment. Just leave it on daylight savings time year around. BTW, add Hawaii as another state that remains on one time year around.
The one oft heard negative argument against one time year around is that kids going to school would be negatively impacted because they'd have to travel to school in the dark. To that point, IMO it would make more sense for the school districts to essentially enact their own localized form of time-shifting: just change the time school starts. A slight inconvenience for parents, students, and teachers, but the rest of us would be spared going thru that annoying ritual of changing our clocks twice a year.

It's all got to do with farmers . It changed because of them, as cows are on sun time they have to be milked at same time ,
when it's just about Braking daylight , and at sun down , I think it should be changed every month , to when sun comes
up at mourning time . You would save a lot of fender benders , as people would driving to work in daylight , and driving home in daylight , as they have it now, in winter people are driving to work a hour before daylight or more . In our area , we can call it sun up time all year . You
Would just set your clock , each month a to what ever minuites it takes to equal that one hour , and at this day and age the clocks could
Do it on there own with you not even aware of the fact it's been done , like clock work every day , cast your votes now .
