⏰ Daylight Savings!!!

Including a link to a brief History Channel synopsis of what is now known as DST...this article claims farmer don't like it.

https://www.history.com/news/why-do-we-have-daylight-saving-time 

All in all DST seems wasteful since humanity, in general, adapts to gradual change better than abrupt change....supported by (4) Tips on making the "adjustments"

We are still going to do this?  It's become such a nuisance. They are always talking about staying on DST, & I wish they would. 

As far as staying on standard time, it gets light too early in the summer.  One more thing to hate about fall. 

Well, here we are again - Falling back this weekend 

I have a “Bird Clock” - everybody knows what that is, right ?  Every hour has a different bird sound to mark the hour.  I love it but . . . . 

for the last 25 years, twice a year, I have to reset it and it is not a simple task since you have to do it just like the directions say or all the bird sounds get messed up and the Western Screech-Owl sounds like the Whooping Crane.  Yuck!

So 

1. remove the back of the clock
2. remove the batteries
3. set hands only moving clock-wise to ten minutes to 1:00
4. reinsert batteries
5. set clock to the right time (moving only clock-wise)
6. attach back of clock

Then last year, I had to take it completely apart since the face was curling because it is so old and I glued it all back down again. 

Well now, with any luck, it will now outlast me and the bird sounds are still all correct.

I don’t really notice it anymore - but if somebody is visiting, it is a real “Hoot” to see their reaction and the 1st thing they say is “What is that”?

⏰️   Are we still "changing" the time in NOVEMBER or did the "whatever" they submitted NOT TO pass?

Geez, I keep "reading" CONFLICTING news on this topic.

Gail you know?

Thanks,

Nicole!

Is the time change finally stopping? It needs to everything changes in me with time change. Better not to have it change in my opinion !

​@itmatterstomesobo , from what my neighbors told me, it is changing in November "unless" something changes.

Thank you!  I do not know if the what ever past either.

Do away with daylight savings time
