I keep my stove clock on 'chicken time'--never changing--so I feed at the same time all year. Animals don't know from daylight savings time. But sometimes if we have schedules involving humans, it gets confusing.
The last few years I have operated on standard time (no change) unless I have an appointment when I just leave an hour earlier.
This weekend, I make no changes, my house clocks never change as of a few yrs ago. Well, did you ALL know this? Daylight saving time, suggested by President Roosevelt, was imposed to conserve fuel, and could be traced back to World War I, when Congress imposed one standard time on the United States to enable the country to better utilize resources, following the European model. https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature...n-as-war-time/
I would choose Daylight Savings Time. One would think it wouldn't matter if you are retired. It does when you live in a high traffic area. By the time traffic clears out for the day here, it would be dark 6 months of the year on Standard time. On DST only 2 or 3 months. I don't like driving after dark.
When I went out to my parents' mobile home Sunday, I first set the clocks back instead of forward. When I realized it, I went all around and set them forward 2 hours to correct it. Then noticed 1 clock was never set back last fall. It needed to be left alone. Next trip I'll set it back 1 hour (or is it forward?). Oh heck, I'll just match it to the others.
Our clocks don’t get turned back an hour until April 2 nd I believe I’ve mentioned this before about the Queensland / New South Wales border , depending on what side of the street you’re on there is a whole Hour difference in time until APRIL left in photo is NSW ……… right side of road / street is Queensland ( that refuses to take part in daylight savings time )
I looked this up on Wiki for another thread because it seems that Yvonne, Bobby and I have clocks that automatically change time based on the EU/UK schedule (last Sunday in March.) Here is a Wiki article listing DST by country, where it's observed. These are the different dates & times where DST begins in the northern hemisphere: Second Sunday in March at 0:00 Second Sunday in March at 2:00 (includes U.S. and most of Canada) Friday before last Sunday in March at 2:00 Last Thursday in March at 0:00 Last Sunday in March at 1:00 UTC (includes the EU and the UK) Last Sunday in March at 2:00 Last Friday in April at 0:00 Last Saturday in April at 2:00 Areas shown in the same color start and end DST within less than a week of each other The gray nations do not observe DST
