Re: Almost Time to Spring Forward!!!

I guess I'm in the camp of  'I wish they would just pick one and stick with it'.  I do understand why some people enjoy the appearance of more daylight.  But it's kind of a pain to have to change some of the things I still have, so that's totally on me.  Smiley Happy

 

One thing is that all of my clocks are from before it was changed.   Two of them I can just turn it off and just change the time zone twice a year.  But one of them I cannot do that so it changes itself on the old schedule and I have to adjust it, also by just changing the time zone, four times a year now.  I was going to replace that one but I really like it, other than that problem, because it has 2" red numbers and I was unable to find a newer one like that.  So - I just change it 4 times a year.     It doesn't kill me, so I get over it.  Smiley Happy

 

At least everything else now days, except a wall clock I have and a digital clock on the front of my oven, changes itself.   I remember back when you had to go all over the house changing everything.

Looking forward to spring and summer, the warmer weather and flowers!  By June 21st, we will have 22 hrs of daylight, and the sun doesn't really set in the horizon.  I don't look forward to these extremely long days, as it really plays havoc with your body clock/sleep.  Thank goodness for blackout curtains!


@AKgirl2  I was in Alaska in August and it was really weird to walk down the street at 11pm, and it's broad daylight.  I wonder if crime decreases in the summer?  I don't think they covered that on Alaska State Troopers, one of my favorite shows. 


@Kachina624 ~ The sense of never ending daylight is weird for sure, I don't think I'll ever get use to it.  As far as crime, I'm thinking crime prevails during the night sky more than in daylight.  Sadly, it's a 24 hr. business:/    Stay safe!
