‘13 Change the clock?
#9
(11-05-2018, 10:28 AM)Frulk_imp Wrote: I'm no fan of day light savings time either and would prefer Utah go the route that Arizona has gone (no seasonal adjustments for time). would prefer to have the light at the END of the day after I get home vs at the beginning when I'm at work.

I don't adjust anything that doesn't do it automatically. I don't wear a watch. In 6 months it will be correct again. I think the wife adjusts the stove and microwave.

I ride home heading due east from work and since the time adjustment it puts the sun right near/on the horizon behind me so people heading west now lose me in the sun. That's a very dangerous proposition for me or anybody else on a bike so I'm prob going to start driving the truck from now on for the commute (14mpg vs 43). Not to mention that by the time I get home, change, and go to walk the dog it's practically dark.

There’s something here I don’t understand. The whole point of daylight saving time is to shift the clock so there is effectively more daylight at the end of the day. The nearer the equator you get the less useful it becomes as the less twilight there is.

Frulk, forgive me, but it sounds to me like you want to stay on DAST rather than have to put your clock back to standard time.

Or am I missing something?
