Clocks Forward tonight!

[ETOWNCANUCK]

Daylight savings begins tonight at 3 am ...don't forget to change those clocks.

[tool]

Or be like Saskatchewan, leave the damn clocks alone.

[58thecat]

Nope, suckers self adjust....I don't!

[Gray Wolf]

Twice a year, we get entertained by all those 'challenged' people, who just can't handle it.

This one's for them - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51UpEKX39ZY

That was awesome.

People complain about an hour shifting twice a year messing up their sleep and their schedules,
Yet can jump on a plane and go across the International date line,
or hell even visit another province in another time zone.
Same thing happens.

[dewalt18]

Also the time of year to change your furnace filter, and check the batteries in your smoke and CO2 detectors!

So true,

I love the long summer nights.

Thanks for the reminder... totally forgot

[silverdoctor]

I'm looking forward to it personally, rather have that extra hour of daylight in the evening instead of morning.

Weather is looking up, lots of melt going on in Edmonton. C'mon spring!

I can't wait til Monday morning at work
Kevie, 6'6" 300 lbs, built like a brick siht house, will be whimpering and whining about the hour of sleep he lost
when he drives back from a trip to B.C. he must stop his lifted dodge dually at the side of the road where the time change sign is and break down and have a little power pout....because "it's so HARD to adjust" to the hour time change
.....and Jesus wept

You should give him the Monday off, in fact we all should have Monday off to adjust....

DST is so out of date.

Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.

You should be changing your furnace filter a lot more than twice a year.

Yup ... about once a month.

It's really a basic concept and I'll try to explain it to all the doubters and day light savings time haters

Please excuse me if I have the exact times wrong...if I round up or round down too much

Try to imagine June 21 with no Daylight savings time
Sun comes up at 4 am (not too many people awake and enjoying the sun at 4 am...lets say 1% of the population)
Sun goes down at 9 pm ( lots of people ...let's say 99% still awake and still enjoying the day or whats left of it....too bad its getting dark already)

Now try to imagine June 21 with the province observing Day light savings time
Sun comes up at 5 am ( not too many people awake and enjoying the sun at 5 am....lets say 1 % of the population)
Sun goes down at 10 pm (lots of people.... let's say 99% still awake and still enjoying the day,......isn't this great !!!!!!! it's still light out and we can still enjoy the activities we would do in the light)

Day Light Savings time is a no brainer....it's not... "cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket."
unless of course you insist on going to sleep when the sun goes down and getting up when the sun gets up.......that would give you 17 hours of sleep in the middle of winter and 7 hours of sleep in the middle of summer......but I'm sure all the Day light savings time haters have got that figured out already...... now we just have to get them to understand the simple concept as outlined above

I think if the media ( the pot stirring media that we have these days ) would stop stirring the pot on this idea twice a year, many of the day light savings time haters wouldn't even begin to think that Day Light savings time was such a bad idea

How hard is it to set your clocks twice a year?

If you're changing your filter one a month, maybe you should do something about the dust in your house

Money grab....shop vac the buggers, change out once a year....

[Davey Boy]

May be we should compromise and move the time 1/2 hr between the two and leave it the h??? alone.

[ETOWNCANUCK]

What do people do when they travel?

Do they stay in Alberta or do they go to a different time zone?

If they go to a different time zone, don’t they have to adjust to the time?

Or is just because you have to work Monday morning?

If you can’t adapt to something as simple twice a year,
You probably have bigger problems.

[Mavrick]

I don't change mine, in the fall I'm always an hour late, in the spring an hour early. Or is it the other way around? any way it balances itself out. In the end I'm only going to get so many trips around the sun no matter what a clock says.

At $1.67 a piece I will replace them once a month, thank you very much.

And when they change the clock back in the fall I lose that hour of hunting time I can put in after work
