Its That Time Again

Sad (for me) to say, it's time to set your clocks back this weekend.

My favorite night of the whole year.

@Kachina624

It's "sad" for me in another way. I get my TV feed from California, so during "daylight", I am on Pacific time (The Navajo Nation uses Daylight, but not the rest of the state.)

Sooooo.....when Daylight ends....the TV shows are still on Pacific, but I see them AN HOUR LATER. The "late news" now comes on at midnight for me.

This messes up my "schedule" for the next 4 months.

Yes. I am old, crabby, and set in my ways(!!!) di

@Kachina624 and everyone,

@Desertdi. Surely Phoenix must have late news?

I just hate that the evenings are so long. It seems like forever until bedtime, the high point of my day.

What happened to that plan where they was gonna stop that c*ap and have us all on same time and no more of this Fall back, Spring up bull ?

@Kachina624

Yeah, we do have a "local late news"....but it's on at 8pm....and it's mostly sports scores, traffic deaths (we are N0.1 in the country for those), and the weather report.

I can get "early news from NY" at 4am my time, tho...on the networks.

I'm an early riser. I am soooo looking forward to this time change. Wish it was all year long. Or at least longer than 4 months.

@SharkE. That's what I'd like to know. All they do is talk and talk about it with no action in Congress. We need more women there to get things done.

I have to be honest my friends, I really don't mind it. Yes it's kind of off putting in a way but I love the darker hours coming early.......it gives me an excuse to put my pj's on before dinner!

I am with you, summer or winter some days I am in mine by 5:30. I do feel a bit better about doing that when it is dark outside!!

DH gets up at 4:30, and I'm usually up by 5, so I look forward to more daylight in the morning. DH drives a school bus, so I'm happy those kiddies will be waiting in the light instead of the dark. His first pick-up is at 6:30.

I don't look forward to resetting all the battery operated timer candles and lanterns in my family room, living room and dining room.

Every darn year they rumble about that in our Texas State legislature and nothing comes of it. I adore Standard time and would prefer it over the two but what I really want is just one time 365 days a year.

Like I really need an excuse to not do chores on the weekend.

It was 48° at 6 this a.m. when I went to Walmart. I "could" have used the car heater....but I forgot how to TURN IT ON.... di

I think it's ridiculous that kids (any age) are out waiting for a school bus at 6:30 a.m.

@Desertdi. Whee! It's finally cool in Phoenix. Must feel really good. We're supposed to have our first freeze tonight, 26° yet.

This always messes up my dog's head - eating and going for walks.
