UHH Savings Time
Mar 9, 2019 11:28:30 #
I realize I am ignoring protocol and rules of UHH by posting this in Main Photography Discussion instead of Chit Chat or Links. However, I'm attempting to save "us" from the enormous number of posts regarding DST, which begins tomorrow. So, here are some former posts. Hopefully these may save us from repeating the usual rants. 
If you have a very compelling reason to rant about DST, please do. Keeping strong feelings locked up inside, can be dangerous to your health! 
Hope you save many more hours!!

Worst week of the year for me. It's finally gotten to the point where I'm getting up in near-daylight, and it will be back to rising in the pre-dawn again on Monday. I find that daylight ending when I'm a few minutes from home instead of a few minutes after I leave the office does not really benefit me very much. I can't "save" it till I get home!

I've always liked it, always will. Now it's even better because the Bumpusses probably won't let their dogs out until later. In the meantime Vern the Dog will still get me up at oh dark thirty and we'll have more quality time. Ben Franklin was a genius.
Note lack of whine or rant.

Sorry Andy. It's been the standard since 1916. Certainly, sufficient time to adapt.

There's movement afoot in the eastern US
to eliminate semiannual clock shifts in favor
of keeping DST all year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Time_Zone
There are also a few places inland in the US that
refuse to shift their clocks, but IIRC they do the
opposite, they stay on standard time all year and
never switch to DST. There was a time not long
ago when Indiana did not use DST and towns on
the Indiana-Ohio border had a TWO HOUR time
shift occurring in the middle of town.

"Alberta follows Daylight Savings Time
and Saskatchewan is one of the few places
in North America that doesn’t. This means
that for the summer, Lloydminster is on
the same time zone as the rest of
Saskatchewan, not to mention Alberta, .... "

Nope. The change comes several weeks earlier than it used to. It was the first Sunday in April until 2006, when Congress moved it up by three to four weeks (and kept it in effect for an additional week in the fall as well). The difference between second Sunday in March and first Sunday in April is just the difference between getting up in the dark or in near daylight for me.
I'm allowed to grumble about Washington politicians aren't I?

How 'bout this: Let's change the time weekly or monthly so that the sun sets about 9:00 PM every night, regardless of when the sun rises.

They changed the rules a number of years back so that it's now difficult to figure out when the change take place unless you search the web. However, most of our clocks now make the adjustment by themselves so we don't have to worry about it.

I loved having the extra daylight after work during the week.
I didn't always have to wait for weekends to do stuff.

Works for me ! Maybe I can do
that by Executive Order or even
a State of Emergency.
I could run for POTUS now that
any wayward totally unqualified
biped has a crack at it !
I'm no expert on foreign affairs,
health care etc. I just wanna get
elected, fix the time thing, play
golf [first time!], and then leave
office and collect a fat pension.
Sounds like a plan :-)
