I just happened to notice this on one calender, and double checked another.
Daylight Savings goes into effect next Sunday, 10 March 2013!
How many others thinks this is just too damned early?

What astounds me is that people actually believe they get a extra hour of daylight!

I do! Well, when I need it anyway. The dogs won't wake up until after I've poured my first cup of coffee and I can do some weekend chores in the evening.

Makes me glad I live in Arizona, haven't needed to fiddle with a clock in years.

Just ain't right messing with God's time.
Arizona is one of the few areas that doesn't.

While it doesn't really give me anymore daylight it does give me 1 more hour of possible range time each day since we can't shoot after dusk or before 10 A.M. at the local range.
So nope not soon enough!

Time change always messes me up for a week or two.

I appreciate it. It aligns the rest of the world around me with my personal schedule a little better. Up before the sun and down after she goes down. Am ready for summer too, but the weather lady on tv says it ain't so yet. JW

The late afternoon shoots works better for me. Sun is behind me on my targets

Say what you will, but I like it when the clocks move. Work starts and lets out at the same time, but I can play golf after work for an hour longer. No, there isn't more light in a day, but there is an hour more that I can use.

GOlF Is that some sort of game?

So we lose a hours sleep Sunday?

Well, that means the car's clock will be right again, as will the answering mach.

I've got no issue with those that want to live life deprived, but golf is the reason for summer. 8-)

There is more daylight during summer. Neither standard time nor daylight saving time is God's time. Both are man made time. Actually they are railroad made time. God's time has the length of days varying by about 20 minutes plus or minus. Noon is when the sun goes from rising to falling. Most of the above is from memory and it has been about 50 years since I took a surveying class that required astrological computations. Most of it is about right. Daylight savings near 45 degrees North give lots of time for fishing. Golf is a waste of either pasture of hunting land.

I do like daylight savings time. It gives me a little longer to do stuff in the evenings while there is still light.

I like it but I have a problem going to bed before it gets dark in the summer.

It only has a negative effect on humans, and only the ones that can tell Mickey's big hand from his little one !

They do if they sleep till 10 or 12 anyway.

I vote to quit the sillyness of time change. As of this year we only have 4 months that we are on standard time. Pick one or the other an leave it.

Do away with DST. If you need to be at work an hour earlier/later you should be able to figure it out.

Not everyone can choose their own hours...

Even though studies proved Daylight Saving wastes energy, last time round They voted to increase it.

Another Fix for something that ain't broke. I'm with Arizona.

My great grandmother who was an Indian told me that once when I was a little boy, but she said only the white man instead of the government, but to here they were one in the same.

Best wishes,

Joe

I saw enough time zone changes on ships. If people really need to think they have more daylight; they need to move about fifteen degrees east, without changing their clocks.

I really wish they would leave it one way or the other year round. I like DST due to actually going to work an hr earlier and enjoying getting off an hr earlier with the added benefit of having that extra hr of dalight after work to get things done outside. but as I said, I hate going to bed before dark.
