Spring Forward/Fall Back

[Sir Henry]

I think we all know or should know that GMT was set up as a starting point for navigation around the world and that really wasn't even close to accurate until the invention of accurate clocks or chronometers .How many know why the time zones in the U.S. were adapted in the 1880's?

The railroads?

h​ere we go again ....for 2024 Daylight Savings begins one week from today on Sunday, March 10th and sadly it is scheduled to end on Sunday, November 3rd ....as usual, I'm looking forward to it getting here and already dreading ending

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

On a positive note, at least Nov 3rd is a lot more later that it used to be.

Oregon tried passing legislation awhile back for permanent DST. It failed.
Recently they tried passing legislation for permanent Standard time. It also failed.
So for now we are stuck with the seasonal flip-flop. I don't like the flip-flop.

In today's news...
Oregon Senate narrowly passes bill to abolish daylight saving time.
Has been sent to the Oregon House and had its first reading on Monday. But it could be a 10 year wait.

Time doesn’t change only our perception of it.

Crap. I was enjoying the earlier light but now it’s gone again for a while. I’m a morning person not a night person so the more light in the morning the better.

It seems like there's never enough time in a day when working on projects or doing chores outside. I'd take the longer days year-round if we could.
