Time for Texas to get rid of daylight saving time

By Art Markman Feb. 1, 2019

Feb 1, 2019 - Every spring, we set the clocks ahead an hour on a Sunday morning as we switch to daylight saving time, and many of us gripe about it. ... The Texas Legislature is actively questioning daylight saving time this session. ..

I really don't like it at all.

@Spurt I live in PA and just recently a bill was introduced by a legislator to end DST. I don't know if it will be successful.

Thanks for the reminder. I really wish we didn’t change the clocks for spring. The older I get the harder it is to adjust.

Funny how my furbaby never acknowledges the time 'change'.

He still expects his meals, walks, etc. at the same time every day, regardless of DST, LOL!

Nah, it will never change. Somebody high up likes it and their cronies.

Nothing can be done about it.

Hate it so much I dread it all year long. Every single day after tomorrow is just growing longer toward August in Texas. Not much relieve some days even in October.

@DJs mom

I dont think a lot of people like the adjustment to our body clocks no matter what part of the country....

Plus in Texas it means it wont even start to get dark until almost 10PMAnd longer sun is out too hot to do things in the evening, and it just extends hottest part of the day which means our air conditioner is going at full capacity and think energy costs

cuts down on my reading time, also. When hubbo is in bed and all noise

is done for the night I like to have quiet tiime to read my historical bio's, now, I'll look up at the clock and it will say 11 instead of 10.

Just a inconvenience and not necessary.

Silver Lining:

In this day & age, most clocks & devices automatically change for us.

I can't wait!! I love it!!! If they go with one time Daylight Saving Time should be the one to keep. It's better to have daylight later in the day. I would hate to see darkness earlier in the summer. Having that extra hour of daylight is what keeps me going in the winter.

I love DST vs. the darkness at 5:00 pm.

Love DST, it means Spring is really on the way! Winters are so dark and gloomy in PA.

All my clocks won't get changed to the correct time for at least two weeks.

An extra hour of daylight is not going to magically appear because you change the clock. Just robbing Peter to pay Paul, so to speak.

I don’t mind it so much, once I adjust to the change. I do feel that one less hour of sleep each day for about a week. Hard to go to bed earlier, when it stays light out longer - and agreeing that the heat (and VA humidity) of the extended day light adds to our energy costs, too.
