Asking for a friend...

Fall forward, Spring back?

An old joke from Jake Hartford (rip), one of the guys that was on WLS years ago.

How many degrees?

I always took the chance and adjusted it for day light saving time timing. Didn't figure I'd be driving the hot rod through the non-day light savings time much.

That's why I put a knob on the dash!

This weekend! Don't suffer from pre-ignition! Set your timing back at midnight.

SPRING FORWARD!!! Speaking of which, this would be a great time to cheat the crank sensor on my '01 Ram a little bit forward.

Shortest day of the year

It's that time again. Me, I'm ready for Sunday.

i just wished SOMEBODY would decide on ONE time, and LEAVE IT ALONE !!!!

I did, I'm not touching a clock, well unless the power goes off which is pretty likely to happen at some point in the next 6 months.

I am against DST,
but I have never read that it affects Deer/Car collisions until now:

We did that here in Arizona. Problem is, the folks in most other states still keep fooling with their clocks.

Help me with this. Let's say it's July 4, 2022 and it's 9:00 pm and it's still light out, in fact too light for the fireworks to happen around here in Ohio. So they are set to go off around 10:15 pm-ish. Now if they do away with Daylight Savings Time does it stay with the 9:00 pm daylight/sun setting light or does it "fall back" and now you have 8:00 pm daylight and you have to wait until 11:15 pm-ish to set off fireworks???

Which 9:00 pm daylight do we get? Do we get July 9:00 pm daylight or July 8:00 pm daylight when they do away with DST ???

If sunset is 9 PM with DST, it would be 8 PM without DST. Twilight would usually be a half hour later, and that would be a good time to start showing movies at a drive-in or to set off fireworks.

I always forget that when I set the time machine. I'm always an hour early or late!

The way i understand it most people want the day light(including me). I get out of work and i have maybe 1/2 hour of light to do something(with daylight savings). Hopefully the government will get off their ass and finally make it a law. More daylight and no more changing clocks!

Somewhat OT, but something else to consider is that sunset gets later the farther west you go in the time zone. In Massachusetts there was a movement several years ago for MA to 'secede' into the Atlantic time zone because it gets dark real early in winter.

So if DST were to end as it seems today it has, what we have for daylight TODAY is what we would have year round. Dusk or sunset, or almost dark at 5:00 pm EST. Not like yesterday when it was still light at 5:00 pm EST and dark(er) at 6:00 pm EST?

Darker an hour earlier year round even in the summer? Don't know if I like that?
