Yeah---------back to the Fifties with Doo Wop, Alan Freed, Delta Blues, ducktails, bobby sox, no social safety nets, bomb shelters, Uncle Miltie, Steve Allen, separate but equal, John Foster Dulles, and Da Bums win da big one then sell and go to LA. Wasn't that a song?
Of course if you read the "financially troubled*" Arizona Socialist Republic,
you'd think DST was beginning this weekend (not in AZ, but most elsewhere).
The headline: "Daylight-saving time arrives Sunday morning."
http://www.azcentral.com/news/artic...ht-saving-time-arrives-sunday-november-7.html
Being financially troubled, their copy editors must all be interns. Reporters too,
based on the story mentioning how AZ had never been on DST except for a period
during WWII. They forgot about 1967. This is--well it used to be--the "newspaper
of record" for AZ.
That's how the story is posted on-line as of 11:00 AM PT (it's probably in today's
print edition this way too), maybe...maybe...they'll update/correct it. :

Good thing I live in Hawaii ;D
The journalistic wunderkind at the Republic finally corrected the headline
(to "ends" instead of "arrives"), but still no mention about DST in 1967.*
*: As of 2:00 PM PT.

Yep. Spring ahead. Fall back. Thanks for the reminder!

But not on the AZCentral sports TV listings web page, where "daylight savings starts" is shown next to the date under both Sunday and Monday. Brilliant editors over there at Gannett's Phoenix operation.

The new Halloween specials of the Fox animation block are a week behind too. I actually watched one of the shows tonight and at the end it said, "Happy Halloween". It was kind of depressing to see that message in November. These specials should have been aired before baseball playoffs or on a night without baseball, but I'm getting way off topic here.
I don't have anything to say about daylight saving time other than I'm sick of changing the clocks back and forth. That is all.

Sick of doing something twice a year? Surely you jest. ;D
But you could...
1) Move to AZ or HI.
2) Get all atomic clocks. I hear WWV is giving them out to the 9th caller:

Partially, but remember when Congress changed daylight saving time around a few years ago? That's when I've became tired of dealing with daylight saving time and wished it would go away.
By the way, I'm not interest in moving to those states without daylight saving time at the moment.

Now, it seems that congress will neglect to repeal the law that was changed in 2007 to 2nd Sunday/March-1st Sunday/November and move it back to 1st Sunday/April-Last Sunday/October. I dealt with that for almost 20 years but thanks to that 2005 Energy act, I feel that this will forevermore be the regular for having this type of DST.

I hate this type of DST, as it doesn't get sunny outside in the spring until 7:30 - 8am in Gary Indiana. We get a hint of daylight approximately 6:45am. It wasn't this bad when it was the 1st Sunday of April. But the 2nd Sunday of March made it worse. The daylight gained in the evening wasn't much at all (maybe a half hour).
The eastern time of Indiana had the right idea of not observing it. Time was consistent most of the year. During the summer months when I went to Lafayette or South Bend, I liked that I didn't have to remember that the are didn't change their time. The sun set approximately the same time as Gary. The only areas that it might have posed a problem where broadcasters in the South Bend & Fort Wayne markets. During the summer months, they would have to list 2 times for programming, like The Simpsons being at 7pm CST, WSJV Elkhart/South Bend used to list the time on the TV screen as 7pm 8pm in Michigan. WNDU & WSBT also had to do the same thing. Once the rest of Indiana observed DST, they eliminated that. I'm sure Fort Wayne TV stations did the same thing with the few counties they serve in Ohio. Since the change, only 1 county officially changed to Central Time in Northern Indiana, & that was Starke County. Pulaski County initially joined the central time zone, but businesses & residents refused to observe it, and went back to eastern time a year later. I believe 5 or 6 counties in southern Indiana joined the central time zone. St. Joseph County Indiana wanted to join the central time zone, but their request was denied, only because they were the only county (other than Starke County, which is part of the South Bend market) that wanted to be a part of the central time zone, while the rest of the market wanted to remain on eastern time. Even the Southshore Railroad (commuter railroad portion) wanted South Bend on central time, as it would allow the railroad to have consistent time between Chicago & South Bend all year round. Before, it was only 6 months a year.
I agree with you. The animated shows about people who were white and not black or yellow will probably not get watched until after Thanksgiving, so that will be even worse.BlueWanderer said:
I sure do like for it to be light when I get up, but driving home in the dark will be a pain.BlueWanderer said:
I had to change the time manually on three VCRs. TiVo was newer so it did it automatically. I have a clock radio that requires an MIT degree to change, though. I got it right and then discovered I had the alarm turned off. Turning it back on was NOT easy and I think I may have messed up the alarm time. I won't know until I hear it again.
Fortunately, that one's just for Mike Huckabee. I have two others which only require me to set the alarm ahead one hour. One is for waking up on Sunday and for Mie Huckabee. The other is for waking up the rest of the week.
And the one needing an MIT degree just came on. I have to fix it.
I succeeded in turning off the alarm and turning the alarm forward yet another hour before I got it all fixed.

Seeing Christmas items in stores before Halloween is worse but I can see why they do that. However, I don't agree with it because of holidays overlapping each other.
vchimpanzee said:
Agree. Trying to go to the store at five or six in the evening will feel like it's ten or eleven at night once again when winter eventually gets here.
Who said anything about repealing it? I like having Halloween on DST, and have wanted it that way for many years! I personally wish we would stay on DST all year long! Yeah, I know that would mean no daylight until 8:00 a.m. in January, but I could deal with that.JackBauer112 said:
Since we've been on digital clocks, most of us don't set our clocks "back" an hour in the fall. Rather, we move them forward 23 hours!
