Fall back

[missmuffet]

I have several clocks I need to reset.

In Arizona, we do not have to adjust clocks, unless you live on the navajo reservation. But I am so glad its over and we are only 2 hrs behind eastern time instead of 3 hrs.

I wish we would just leave it one way or the other.

I don't like daylight savings time. I heard there is some bad weather coming your way..

Southeast part of the state did last night.   Tornado in Idabel.  I haven't heard of anything in the near future.

Put the time half way between the two extremes (to appease both sides) and leave it there forever.

0230 becomes 0300 etc.

It doesn't bother me either way, but I have at times thought, let's compromise, move it half an hour next time, and then stop messing with it forever. However, I also like the idea, of one time zone for the whole world, I call it EST, for eBay Standard time. This way if I say I am going to call at 12, it will be at 12 no matter where in the world you are. Sure, that would mean midnight for some, and midday for others, but that is okay, we would adapt to it. I read once of some alleged conversation between a western missionary, and a local people. It seemed to him that they had so real or sophisticated implementation of time keeping. The missionary asked, how the arrange to meet each other may agreement and a future time. The local said "We count the number of lights and darks!"

Of course the missionary wanted to know about synchronizing a little more accurately, and the local said "We will meet when the sun is this high!", lifting his arm partway up in the air. The missionary pressed further: "But what if one of us gets there before the other?" The local said: "Then that one waits!"

Oh, I just saw this, lol, I see we are on the same page there! I think though that it is a compromise, probably would not appease anyone.

"Do you like it?"

"No!"

"Do you like it?"

"No!"

"Good!" "Good"

Ours happened last weekend  the only clock I had to change was the one in my car all others are radio controlled. We in the UK are now back to real time,    When I worked nights ( to pay my way through uni ) I ALWAYS ended up working the fall back night and had to work an extra hour without pay and NEVER   got the shift when I would have had an hour less to work

I can't confirm this, but have heard in two years the US will go off of the time changes. Can anyone confirm?
