Why do we still do this? Tomorrow night we fall back one hour. Pretty soon it'll be pitch black at 5PM. I'm getting old. I don't drive good in the dark anymore. Lights will go on in the house earlier too. Electric bill goes up. There is now a real movement behind ending Daylight Savings Time. Not sure I said that right as I like summer evenings with that extra light. Let's just go back to some kind of normal time for lack of a better phrase and leave it at that.
Got a set of 4 solar path lights recently at Harbor Freight. Pretty cool. They recharge themselves in the daytime even on overcast days. Sometimes they don't last the whole night but that's OK. Trendy but practical.
Whenever the Congress gets back in session can we do something about the time thing? No fan of Trump but if he does something about this I'll give him three points. Make that five.
Polling has DST at 12% favor, 42% opposed and 40% neutral. Trump has mentioned getting rid of it a couple of times, but says congress should do it. He's gotta be kidding, considering all the other stuff he summarily does, no?
ReplyDeleteExcellent point. So how come he feels this doesn't come under His Royalty's power? Humble governance ain't his style.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't piss him off BB. An illegal picking spinach yeah.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big neutrality in that poll. Do they have to study the issue more? Often wondered about the neutral club. How do you feel if the government raped your daughter? Undecided.
I guess one has to be neutered to be in the Neutral Club?
ReplyDeleteYou and I may disagree from time to time but you have definite feelings about things. Kind of normal.
ReplyDeleteDST go easy but wreck the East Side of the WH.
ReplyDeleteSome of the world never has had daylight savings time - equatorial places it makes little difference, many countries just quite because of the associated problems, but we stagger on, hating it. If he can zap fishing boats, he can zap DST, IMO.
ReplyDeleteAlso makes it hard on ICE. Dark at 5:00.
DeleteQuestion in cryptozoology -
ReplyDeleteIf you cross a Sasquatch with a Yeti do you get a
Yetiquatch Sasquayeti Donald Trump ?
Beats me.
You get Upper Management.
ReplyDeleteLost the instructions to my digital watch. Half an hour to move it back one hour. Now I'm trying to move it back one day. I miss he old watches with just an hour and a minute hand.
ReplyDeleteOvens at work are digital and computerized. We actually have more problems. My oven at home no problems.
