Did you know it was this weekend??????
It took me by surprise when I found out!

I keep up, so I am not surprised. I am disappointed. The mowing season is upon us and that extra sunshine just makes the grass grow that much faster.

Um, does the grass follow a Timex?

I forgot it was this weekend! :o
Good thing my cellphone changes over automatically (I don't have a real clock of any kind, not even an alarm...my cellphone does double duty with it's obnoxiously loud alarm feature. LOL )

Huh? I don't get it.

Took me by surprise as well - I'm used to it being later in the year, like most people I'm sure.

It's actually a VRWC endeavor...more sunshine keeps the DUmmies in their basements. :-)

We don't change our clocks here in Arizona.
The rest of you all, enjoy that hour of sleep you're going to lose.
I won't lose any sleep over it. :rimshot:

Moving the clock to the left or to the right has no bearing on how much daylight there is during the day. Days are getting longer because we're getting closer to the solstice. ..unless I'm reading you wrong. :-)

Well, days get longer naturally between the Winter solstice and the Summer solstice, that is a given. And then when we change our clocks and add another hour of daylight, well, that's just fooling with nature. It seems to me we aren't saving daylight. We are spending more of it. We are saving nightlight to spend next winter. They have it rigged where it is dark by 5:30 pm on Christmas Day. It's just not right.

Geezers like yourself worry about solstices? I thought is was all sundials and hourglasses with you lot.

Winter solstice around here results in a sunset around 4:25pm. :banghead: That's just wrong.

We're not adding another hour of daylight, Undies. We're just shifting the time spectrum as it would appear to us. The grass isn't fooled.

I bought this fancy Timex alarm clock a few years ago that automatically changes with day light savings time. Now, I have to change it on Monday (it's the clock I keep at work) and then in a few weeks it'll automatically change as well since we moved the dates around. :hammer:

You're just trying to confuse me with crafty language. I KNOW it will get dark an hour later. That means there will be an extra hour of daylight.

According to your profile you are eight years younger than I. Eight years. Do you really want so quickly to assign yourself to be a member of geezerhood?

So, instead of getting up at 4:00 AM to fly I have to get up at 3:00 AM :((
Doesn't the extra hour of sunshine cause more global warming? We really should put a stop to this!!!!

....and it'll become daylight an hour later. Again, it's just a shifting of the time spectrum.

If that were a fact then we could leave the clock alone and just get up and start everything an hour earlier.

We could. Am I to believe that you think the Sun knows how to tell time?

Why the hell not? The teevee would have us believe that the Sun can cook breakfast for his family! :-)

The sun just hangs out there like a nucleus while earth spins around it like an excited proton, constantly changing the face it shows to the sun. It would be the earth which tells time. The sun doesn't care. We slow down the earth to cause each face to be exposed to the sun longer. This causes the days to be longer too.

At this point, I couldn't avoid membership if I tried. :bawl:

:o Please tell me you don't believe this. When you move 8PM up, 8AM moves up as well. You do realize that, right?

You're not doing it right. When you move 8PM up you move 8AM back. That is where the extra hour of sunlight comes from. We steal it from the night.
