Re: For those of you who have to change clocks because of DST

The BEST news I've heard in a long time.  Expect the House to pass and Biden to sign.  Hurrah!!!

I read where senator Sinema of Arizona was heard saying loudly "YES"!!  Met a fellow at the ice rink Sunday that moved here from your state say it took him awhile to adjust. So I thought Arizona was not on DST, were they not?

 

An adamant yes for me, but then it is far from becoming a fact. It has passed only 1 of the 3.

We never change our time. Unless he's in the Navajo nation way up north. It's still 3 hours behind east coast right now.

@hckynutjohn      There is a little "glitch" with Arizona.   Our LOCAL TV stations stay on Standard Time all year....but the CABLE TV stations change to DST.   So, we don't change the clocks, just TV watching habits...   

 

I used to live in DST states....so living on Standard all year was hard to get used to for me....but it's a whole lot better than living in blazing sun at 9pm (!!)

I like the earlier hours of the cable channels. And the last thing we need is another hour of sunshine. As it is there are weeks when the lows are in the 90's.

If it becomes permanent with no changes throughout the year, then school districts and businesses will have the flexibility to permanently change hours. Schools may want to begin the day at 9:00 am instead of 8am and dismiss at 4 pm instead of 3.  Being flexible with hours may be the only solution to waiting in the dark for buses to arrive.

Re: For those of you who have to change clocks because of DST

Doesn't concern me, but I've been reading that DST is more economic and Eastern Standard Time is healthier for our bodies and minds. Seems like being inconvienced is a very American issue. No matter the decision, good luck everyone.

Re: For those of you who have to change clocks because of DST

It's regularly proposed, but people don't agree on which to choose, just as some people like the twice a year change while others don't.  No matter which time is selected, there will still be the same disagreement that there is now about the change, so why bother.

I prefer DST!  Hope it passes.
