From the promised LAND
I think the company needs to take this one on. IT means that from now til spring we each get an extra hour of delivery in the dark. It is harder, not as safe, and the production is not as great after dark.
So therefor, leave the clocks alone and do not change, unless they move them forward this time of year. That way one more hour of daylight.

wkmac,
Actually Daylight Savings is what gives us the extra hour of daylight and the ending of it is what takes it away.
I think the issue for ending Daylight Savings at the end of October is to bring sunrise earlier for the school kids standing out for buses, etc.
So I doubt if it will ever be extended year round.
As a driver I was for leaving it in Daylight Savings mode year round.
As a clerk that gets out in the early afternoon either way is fine.

We are on natural time right now
As I understand it we are back on natural time after last night's time change back. I knew the DS was for the school kids but now we are about to roll that time change back into late November and move it back up come early February and ........ you know it's not worth this, it really doesn't matter. Have a good evening and a good work week.

wkmac, you are not making sense to me which is unusual.
Daylight Savings time runs from the beginning of April to the end of October.
We switched back from Daylight Savings yesterday, Saturday.
It has been that way since the beginning.
Although ithat is being changed starting in 2007 when it is being extended two more months.
On August 8th of this year Bush signed into law<!--StartFragment --> the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which goes into effect in 2007 (that sounds like a loser label for a law that begins in 2007 doesn't it?!?).
It will begin the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November.
Wish you hadn't brought up the work week
, but hope yours goes well as well.

How does Arizona manage through all this?
It's my understanding that Arizona refused to switch to Daylight Savings Time.
Were they just being rebellious or do they know something we don't?
Anyone have the answer?

Arizona doesn't change their clocks at all, so they are on Mountain Standard Time all year, so there is nothing to manage; no Spring forward, Fall back, no changes at all. Arizona tried DST in 1967, found it was hard to sleep with the sun up, and reverted back. The Navajo Nation does follow DST, so parts of AZ do change the clock.trickpony1 said:
Hawaii stays on Standard Time as well, so as far as knowing something the rest of you don't, you'd have to ask yourself where you'd rather be this winter, AZ & HI, or somewhere else.

My father in law is a farmer and you are right, they bitch about it every year.
I have asked him for thirty years now what does it matter to him as he gets up with the sun and goes to bed with the sun?
He has never given me an answer.
Just grumps and says darn Daylight Savings Time.

Cows and crops don't have clocks.

Well my father in law does, but I don't know why as he cannot set the alarm, keep it turned off, nor hear it.
But he is a great guy and a solid, realiable giant that could work most of us into the ground even at his present age of 70.
Still farming full-time !
