Huh? Doesn't cost me a cent to take a few minutes to reset all the clocks in my house. I like the extra daylight in the summertime!

In AZ you want the sun to set so it can cool down a bit or that my take on it.

I agree. The guy that comes to our house to reset our clocks charges $75 a clock.
It gets expensive I tell you!!!!!!!
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

I will drive over there and do it for $50 per clock!
But, you must have at least 5 clocks to make it worth my while!
Another "but", I have to get all mine done first. As an amateur radio operator, I have 6 of them in my radio room, all set to different time zones. 4 of them need to be reset. Then there are the three in the kitchen, two in the bedroom, one in the bathroom, my watch, and the ones in the vehicles...
WHEW!
Y'know, it all doesn't cost a dime to do...

Oh, come on, camping people! There's not a one of us who isn't so thankful that we have that extra hour of daylight in the evenings when we are out camping. Especially if you have little ones with you. You can keep them outside and extra hour! then come in, get baths and go to bed. Personally I love it!

An old Indian once said only a white man would cut a foot off the end of a blanket, sew it onto the top and believe he has a longer blanket.
Daylight savings time doesn't add a minute of daylight. I for one would like to see proof of any energy savings. It is definitely a pet peeve of mine.

Puh-leeze! If you want that extra hour of daylight, get up earlier.

Yes, but it sure throws it out of kilter with the rest of the country. My son lives in Phoenix and we are always getting the time wrong when we call him. It is a real big deal( LOL )
