Half Full by Maria Scrivan for November 06, 2022

Fall back in spring or spring forward in fall? I got it mixed up….

Easy way to remember: If you Fall on a Spring you’re propelled forward because the momentum of the Spring keeps you from Falling backwards. The Fall of Springing forward will equal the chances you’ll Fall backwards given the Spring of the impact.

Not a single second of daylight is lost. An hour is simply “moved” from the afternoon (where it does to belong) to the morning (where it does belong). Daylight Saving Time should be eliminated forever, but if it isn’t, at least it should be renamed to Daylight Moving Time.

Good for vampires, left over from HALLOWEENIE!

Ha! I’m looking at this on my phone and just had to go look at a regular clock to verify if the time changed. It did, and I had forgotten about it.

The amount of daylight remains the same. Nature doesn’t care what people do with clocks.

I am one of the few who like standard time

I’m not that far north, but sunrise wasn’t until 7:30 am until this morning. I prefer standard time too. I was a kid when Nixon tried to make DST year-round, and it failed. It only took two winters of kids having to go to school in the dark, sunrise near 8:30 in the morning on Christmas for folks to decide they did not want that.

Leave it at STANDARD time. DST is stoopid, imo!

I like it the way it is.

we lose more than that

No, you don’t lose any daylight except for the unavoidable shorter nights of winter. Changing the clocks does nothing.
