Daylight Savings Time Comes A Month Early This Year
 

March 11, 2007 is the day we change to daylight savings time this year.

They are messing with my head
 

I am sorry but I have a Kramer clock and they are messing with my clock when they change the time of year for the change far as that goes why change at all ? I have heard for the school children well the wheels on the bus go round and round :D

That suits me just fine.. give us some extra daylight a month sooner, and a month sooner is a MONTH COOLER (temp wise) if you ask me :clap:

WHY!!! I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. WE HAVE A NATURAL BIOLOGICAL CLOCK. DST MAKES PEOPLE TIRED ALL THE TIME. :bawl:

That would be a Kramer clock Isabella
 

Me and my wife both have the Kramer clock and this does upset our natural biological clock so I wake up early and now real early as time changes be looking for my post while your on line AL :eek:

I agree, that the "changing" of time does screw everyone up, and I do think it's stupid. However, this next time change is the one that I like, for it means when I get home from work, it's not already dark. There will be a few hours of daylight left. :)

Well, I know that daylight savings time is used to make better use of the longer Summer days. Back in Benjamin Franklin's time (when he suggested the concept), men were spending money on oil for their lamps everyday. Franklin figured that by switching the hour during the Summer months to make use of the longer daylight, everyone would save on the cost of lighting their home.

1. It's "Daylight Saving Time," there is no "s" at the end of "Saving."

2. Ben Franklin did not invent/suggest/think of DST. He suggested people wake up earlier to take advantage of the summer light, but he didn't suggest changing the time.

3. It saves energy.

Who has the say so on this change ?
 

How does it save energy ? I still do the same thing on a 24 hour cycle that I did with out DST I would think that energy savings would be because of climate and not what time I get out of bed. no "s" :laugh: love the wit !

Have to agree on this one.. I probably have a house full of lights on as we speak :) and I'm not even home.

I just like the extended daylight into the evenings we will have after we 'spring' forward. Then I say let's just keep it that way from now on.

I do like to fish late
 

So for that part it is good but kills me fishing the morning hours. Good to see you posting Bob. :clap:

It saves energy by moving activity to times when more natural light is available. Dayligth Saving Time saves the United States between 0.7% and 1.0% of its total energy consumption each year.

I have been in the dark about this for 47 years
 

Joe you are the answer man. What is 1% savings for a year can you give me that "number" and I know you know your math ? Time to google it ?
