Heard this briefly while driving home the other day so looked into it. The US Senate passed a bill that would makes Daylight Savings Time permanent. No more having to change the clocks twice a year, except the US would be operating 1 hour ahead of the rest of the world… At least that’s how I understand it… Personally I think they should make Standard Time permanent year round, but that’s my 2 cents on the matter… U.S. Senate approves bill to make daylight saving time permanent | Reuters
What say you?? Like the idea? Not like it? Could care less?
Yep! I work on an sleep/body alarm. Quit using those electronic things many moons ago. Right now, my get up to pee clock is still set on where it was two weeks ago. I’ll stick to my go to…
I’m a big proponent of permanent daylight saving time. Here on the East coast it’s dark at 4:30 PM on the days with the shortest amount of daylight. It will be nice during the winter to come home while it’s still light out and not travel to and from work in the dark.
Last fall we had our Provincial and municipal elections and on the ballot was the question should Alberta remain on daylight savings time, the result, 50.2% not in favor so no go!! I heard a news story saying there is no interest by the Alberta government in asking the question again now. It is absolutely stupid, we should be on daylight saving time year round.
Here in Hawaii we don’t do daylight saving time so it bounces between 2 and 3 hours behind the west coast. I’d personally be happier only being two hours behind for things like NBA/NFL games and just generally dealing with people on the mainland. It’s pretty rough waking up at 7AM and it being 3PM on the east coast if you need to get anything done. At least there’s no suspense checking to see how my IRA did for the day. Flying to/from the mainland is also better when it’s only two hours.
