All I can say is....bless the person who came up with the Atomic Clock for us regular people!
oh, it's very simple - people wanted a longer day, so they took some from the day before...Originally Posted by Moz
I never understood daylight savings time! Luckily I don't have to fiddle around with my clock.. well, had to yesterday when the power went out but that's a different story.
Yeah, simple but stupid!Originally Posted by laureen227

sorta like cutting off a sheet at the bottom to add to the top to make it longerstupid, huh?
made sense to someone, i guess!
but you could've just gotten up an hour earlier, & it would've been the same thing.Originally Posted by Bijou's Mom
I love spring daylight savings time! But then, I grew up on a ranch, so we really appreciated the extra hour of light. We got more hay cut and baled because of it.
Not really. We were always up at daybreak. You can't do much if it's still dark out.Originally Posted by laureen227

i guess my point was this: the sun rises & sets at the same times, regardless of what time we choose to call it. so you don't really get an extra hour of daylight - people just go to work an hour earlier in order to get off an hour earlier - but they try to fool their minds that it's really an hour later than the sun says...Originally Posted by Bijou's Mom
