Not the time change law again

[Rowdie]

Sunrise/Sunset in Dickinson on July 1 would be 4:00 AM/7:50 PM. I can't imagine too many people would be in favor of that.

Oh I know some retards that are all for that!

Okay, I might be a dimwit, but not retarded, at least not diagnosable.

I agree, when I was working it would have been nice. I think school bus safety is a big factor .

I don't get this argument either it's dark when the bus picks them up for 8 am anyway! Maybe adjust school hours to coincide with daylight better!

Yea I don't know , I just remember a lot of discussion about it one session. If I remember right , It was always light when the bus picked up our kids out in the country. Now days some schools are staggering start times .

Early riser nirvana!

My kids get on the bus at 640 am. It’s always dark. The great thing about modern technology is lights. They make it so you can see things…..

Retired guys....We get it. Sun comes up, goes down....The clock doesn't matter. The clock only matters to those who have work schedules. Do you want more hours of daylight AFTER you get off, OR do want the light BEFORE?

I like working in the yard at 10:00 pm

 

[luvcatchingbass]

I will just adjust to whatever I need to. I typically run my bait sites in the dark on the gov't stuff anyways

Daylight Saving Time plays a huge role in extending outdoor activities after work, especially in the fall. Losing that extra hour of evening daylight on Standard Time drastically limits opportunities for golf, hunting, fishing, and other after-work hobbies. Just one hour makes all the difference in how much time you have to enjoy these activities before sunset.

For example:

September 9th: With DST, getting off work at 5 PM gives you 3 full hours to golf, with an extra hour of daylight after your round. On Standard Time, this is the last day of the year you’ll have that much time after work until next spring.

October 11th: On DST, you’d have 2 hours and 2 minutes of daylight after 5 PM—plenty of time for a 20–30 minute drive to your hunting spot and a nice 1.5-hour walk. On Standard Time, you’re left with just 1 hour and 2 minutes, barely enough time to get to your spot, let alone enjoy it.

These examples show how DST extends the day for outdoor enthusiasts. Losing it feels like losing part of your fall, as after-work activities quickly become impractical.

why doesn’t this thread have a poll?

 

[Trip McNeely]

Im definitely in preference of keeping DST year round. But anything to keep from the stupid switching back and forth. Takes 2 months for my body to adjust. Seems to mess with the kids sleeping as well. I haven’t really looked into it hit Ive heard there’s quite a few studies saying there are more strokes, heart attacks and other health related issues around the time changes…..

 

[Lycanthrope]

seems the more populated southern states want DLST gone forever, where the northern states want DLST permanently. Likely it will end up going away. BUT we can counteract that by just changing everything to start an hour earlier, standard work day, 7am to 4pm, etc...

I agree 100%. This is what I tried to tell our delegates. I don't think our legislators realize any of this and don't actually know how this would impact our daily lives in the spring, fall and summer. People are sick of time change, I get it but this is not the way to do it.

Imagine having that kind of enthusiasm. Getting up predawn to catch a few eyes hasn't been part of my play book in well over a decade.

Aren't you normally nursing a hangover Saturday/Sunday morning?
