It makes you set your clocks twice a year, so you get to correct for drift (plugin clocks with battery backup can drift considerably during power failures). considering that "more daylight in the evening" nonsense, GET UP EARLIER!

I have to turn the dome lights on inside the bus so the kids can find a seat. Looks like next year I'll be unloading at the school in the dark too. Ugh! Steve 41N |

The sun does not tell you what time to be at work or school nor does it penalize you for being late.

That the mechanism can be adjusted is a boon. |

There is a benefit. In the summer it's not light at 3:00AM. In the winter it is light at 7:00AM. What's different is what you CALL 3:00AM. If you don't like it getting light while you're in bed, you could always go to bed earlier (and so get up earlier). That's what you're doing now, just fooling yourself into thinking otherwise. Why do you think you're changing the Earth's axial tilt by resetting your clock? Apparently, you think writing "home" on a map of Australia is equivalent to moving there. It makes as much sense as this DST junk. There is VERY LITTLE difference between "DST all the time", amid "no DST at all". Bull****. You apparently confuse easily. The problem is that I did NOT get confused by this DST nonsense, and you are unable to tell the difference. -- 61 days until the winter solstice celebration Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.laughingsquid.com "How could you ask be to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see?" -- Jodie Foster |
