Reminder: Daylight Saving Time

This weekend is the one where we lose that hour, folks.

Sunday morning, the clocks shall spring forward at 2 a.m.
 
I live in Indiana, and we currently don't practice Daylight Savings Time. I love it, but those silly lawmakers want to change things and make us start following it. Isn't it strange that the majority of the people in Indiana don't want to observe Daylight Savings Time and yet our government officials want to force it on us, anyway?
 
I know a few states that don't practice it. I wish it could stay daylight savings time all the time. :) But I would stick with the regular time too. I think changing the time is pointless. We really don't "need" daylight savings time any longer.

Some states don't practice daylight saving time?? Hmm, I have never heard this before. Well, you learn something new everyday.

The Canadian province of Saskatchewan also eschews DST. There's one in every crowd, isn't there? :)

Cheers,

My DH and I were just talking about Arizona and that they don't do the time change. He will be there next week for work. His first time on a plane and we live in Illinois.
 
How exciting, flying for the first time! He's going to love Arizona. Unless he dislikes sunshine, blue skies and well, we have the mid-seventies today. Where in Illinois do you live? I grew up in New Buffalo Michingan, across Lake Michigan from Chicago.

We live in Canton, it is near Peoria. I hope he likes the flight. I am nervous for him. I have only flown once and only one way. It didn't help that I was hung over (going away party). He is going to Tucson. He will arrive on Wednesday and come back Saturday. The next trip he will go on his own and have to stay longer.
 
I'm a morning person, so I'm not a fan of daylight savings. It means that we will soon be having dinner at 8 pm because DH runs or hikes with the dogs after work.

We do not gain an hour of sunlight because of daylight savings time. It's just a governmental decreed shift of the clock.

Lucky you in Arizona.

I'm with Debra, I live in NC and DST will just mess up my internal clock for 2 weeks. I also exercise in the morning and that will work it even more!

You said it, Lucky Arizona

I know, we are lucky!

I grew up in Michingan at the border of Indiana and very close to Illinois. Michigan and Illinois observe DST but Indiana doesn't. Michigan is in a different time zone. So first Illinois and Indiana are an hour earlier. Illinois remains an hour earlier and Indiana becomes the same. How silly is that when they are within miles of each other.
It's Ben Franklin's fault. But don't chop on him. I love him! :D

Here's some history and facts for you:

I hate DST. It messes with my rythms. I'm already an insomniac and that darn DST makes it worse.x(

Why do we mess up with time so much?
