Time bill

[eyexer]

From listening to news of the meetings on it in committee meetings there has been little speak against it this time around.;:;popcorn

because those people are working lol. why the hell should someone have to travel a couple hours to speak at a meeting when they have voted against it twice already. seems like a complete waste of time to me. I live five miles from Mt. time and deal back and forth with things in mt. time daily and I don't see a problem. I don't know what the hell they're trying to fix

 

[Retired Educator]

If the people living in MT time would be requesting this change it would make more sense to me. Why force on them a change they do not wish to make?

I prefer DST as I like extra time in the evenings when weather is nice. Does it take some getting used to the time change twice a year. A little but for me, after about a week or so I'm used to the change. Agree that unless the majority of the country does away with DST it creates some problems.

What say the folks from Arizona? Never heard anything bad from those folks on it actually all the friends and family i have living there love it.

I'm all for doing away with the changing of the clocks. But, I would like to adjust so we are permanently an hour ahead of DST. In the winter, I would love to see the sun on one end of the day or the other. It might as well be the evening in case I have something outside that needs to get done. It would be cool if it was light out until 11 in the summers too. I'd feel like I was fishing up north in Canada, but I wouldn't need to travel so far.

And light out till 11 in the summer for those up in the NW corner of ND. If you divide the time zones equally, the line is supposed to be over by the Red River Valley. I'd rather they just do nothing.

That would make norther MN literally the full width of central time zone!

now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing

Why can't they just leave stuff the eff alone? There were reasons for implementing this policy in the first place which likely will become glaringly apparent if changed. Kids and pencil pushers always think they're going to set the world on fire and they usually do with unintended consequences. We fall back as kids aren't walking, etc to school in the dark.

comparing between AZ and up here in central time they would much rather have our time. that's not arguing that's stating a fact.

I was talking about them not jumping back and forth between standard and DST not time zones.;:;banghead

You do realize that's backwards right. If we got ride of daylight savings time it would be more daylight when the kids go to school not less. It's all about having that extra hour in the evening for doing things like golf and fishing. It used to be about energy savings especially in the area of lighting during wartime but that is no longer the draw on the power grid it once was. For people in northern towns especially ones like Bismark on the west side of a time zone getting rid of it would have much less effect then on city's in the south and or on the east side of a timezone where the days are naturally an hour or so shorter then they are to the north and west. It would make it a pain in the ass for people in the red River Valley but in Bismark I for one would like it.

Hell I say we keep our little bit of mountain time zone and get rid of daylight savings time just to make driving from Wolf Point Montana to Watford city a mathematical adventure in trying to figure out what the hell time it is!

 

[svnmag]

You do realize once we spring forward it's evened out? You do realize it gets daylight earlier until the equinox?

 

[dean nelson]

We wouldn't spring ahead which means waking up an hour earlier hence more light for the kids walking to school.

 

[Wild and Free]

Imagine how much healthier we would all be settling into something normal with our bodies adaptation to our circadian rhythm without having to readjust to something artificial.

 

[Rowdie]

Day light saving time should be ALL YEAR, not the other way!

 

[svnmag]

What?...It's the best of both worlds and extends well into the school year. I got this fact from my great grandmother who served as superintendent of Randolph Cty schools after Grandad retired. She died in '93 at 100 and experienced many changes in this world. Your lack of empathy for children's safety speaks volumes and proves you have none.

that's fine. my folks/in-laws like it.

Your great grandmother was around in 1965 to remember what it was like before DST! I don't believe you no one was alive that long ago!:;:stirthepot

exactly. I sure as hell don't want to loose an hour in the evening during the summer. I golf till dark now so I would loose a hell of a lot of time golfing and fishing for that matter. It would suck ass
