I like the cut of your jib, Simpson. Um. Hall.
The thing I hate about the Dark Time, as I call it, is rush hour traffic at night, with 300 billion people shining their headlights into your eyes.
I only meant that in the sense that I will just be changing everything back in 6 months anyhow. Kind of a joke, you know? I understand why we do it and I don't disagree with it, it is just one more chore that needs to be done.
Cheers Frank
What's a jib?
I think everyone agrees with you on this one.

I think the correct term is Sisyphean. Like SIsyphus, ya rolls da boulder up the hill and it rolls right back down again when you get to the top.
A feeling of futility is understandable.
I'm glad you understand it.

Follow Joan Rivers' example --- get pre-embalmed!
Just don't move to Manchester, Indiana...or anywhere in Dearborn county...and some other counties.
Have a nice week...

I love it when you can get to your destination before you even took off! lol

Thanks for the post, Larry...very interesting.

And your point would be... ?
Right, that's what the "Indiana" choice is for in the Windows "time zone" setting: year-round EST.
I know the difference perfectly well. You're the one who's confused. Keep at it, though. I have confidence in you -- you'll catch on eventually.

The time didn't change on your computer only because that's the way you have it configured to work...on 98.
I conceded that point...as I mentioned above.
But some counties in Indiana do adhere to DST.

Hate to be contrary, but *I* prefer morning light. I'm willing to drive home in complete and utter darkness, but I want to be able to have sunshine on my way to work. Helps me wake up and puts me in the mood to face the day.
Night, OTOH, is for the shop. I like it when it's cold, raining, and dark out when I'm doing my WW. Makes my world focus down to just the shop, letting me forget everything else.
No kidding, Einstein. My post makes that *very* clear. Glad *you* finally caught on.
No, that's not the point you conceded. Evidently, you haven't quite overcome your reading comprehension problem yet. Look at Cook County, Illinois to help you understand the difference between "most counties" and "majority of the population".
I've known that for a long time. Glad *you* finally caught on.

It's a quote from the Simpsons' TV show... Mr. Burns talking to Homer about something or other.
Sorry. I have no idea why I said that particular thing.
A jib is a small triangular sail that's suspended ahead of the foremast on a big sailing ship, incidentally, I think.
This is one honkin' long thread. A good portion of us lost the hour we gained last Sunday, and then some.
Go figure.
DST was Ben Franklin's idea. You can all get even by cleansing your wallets of all those bills with his picture on them..... you can mail them to me, I'll take care of 'em.

Wow, I've been here almost 5 years and didn't know that. Got my "learned something new today" out of the way a little late today. Thanks.
lol
Probably. Just looking at my subject headers it looks like you are carrying on quite a conversation with yourself!

If you were here, you would wake up some morning in late April and not go to bed until August. :-)

A couple years ago I came across a study that showed exactly what you postulate. Productivity decreases while accidents (industrial, automobile) increase in the week following the time change, (more so in the spring after losing an hour of sleep).
I would love to see us dispense with this nonsense, and I don't much care at which point we S*&%#@N it, just stop with the F&*%@#G changing of the G#$-%@!N clocks already.
