daylight savings all year! YES

[Luap McKeever]

I'm in the camp of "set it and forget it".  It's been proven that accidents go up 5% the first week of DST. Especially spring time when everyone loses an hour.  Look, we have headlights on tractors now. We have flashlights to see outside in the dark now.  DST is a stupid and ancient thing that needs to disappear permanently in my opinion.  I'm a zombie as it is and when you take an extra hour of sleep away from me, it takes me a dang week to recover from that and get used to it.  By the time I get used to it, it's time to 'fall back' and do the crap all over again.

Set it and forget it. Period.

if we save daylight all year, what will we do with it all?

The official population is 17...can you name them?

 Well , there's George , and Bill , and his wife Mary , a Frank , a Loretta , Nancy , Sue , a Nancy Sue , Fred , Steve , Stevie , Gladys , Priscilla , (who the locals call Prissy) , Norman , Paul , Carolyn  and a guy the locals just call Sparky , because as a child he tried sticking his tongue into a lamp socket after he had turned on the lamp 

 Somewhere there is a picture of Danial K's Guzzi parked in beautiful downtown Kenton .

Not sure it would work like that ... the world constantly adjusts.   If kids are going to school in the dark, then the schools will shift their schedules so they AREN'T going to school in the dark, and businesses will gradually follow suit, and we'll be right back where we were ....

Saskatchewan never adjusts the clock. It doesn;t work the way you imagine it... work starts at 8, schools starts at 8:30... and that's how it is. Dark, light... 8:30 is 8:30. No adjusting in the fall or spring. None of that garbage, and it works great.

 Yep , that's it . Some years back two of us were stopped in that very same spot , one Guzzi , one beemer . A local guy in his 50's walked over and said , "Well I'll be durned , there are two of those funny looking Italian motorsickles in the world" , Referring back to Deke's bike , he had apparently witnessed Daniel coming thru town on that trip

Alaska used to have four time zones.

And here with an X21 I would have figured you to be into time travel twice a year.

I think the benefits only last a couple of weeks in October, then it is dark all of the time.
I do not know of any other benefits, and would love to see it end.
There was a point when we were changing the clocks in the spring on Easter morning. I can't tell you what a pain that was....

[Yukonica]

The region of Peace River Alberta voted to cede from the changes back and forth.
Just said: no thanks and stopped. They are a practical people there.

Daylight savings time doesn't make sense. There are really only two points in the calendar that count; Solstice.
In winter and we are still only going to have a few hours of light around the middle of business hours.
In summer the flashlight salesmen go broke.

I've always kind of enjoyed the time change, especially in the spring. Punctuates the beginning of riding season - "Here's an extra hour of daylight - game on!"

The extra hour of sleep in the fall feels like a bit of compensation for the impending gray gloom.

I can see how this would hold less significance for those on the farther ends of the latitude scale.

I prefer apparent sidereal time, myself.  :D

I've lived both with and without DST, and at both higher and lower latitudes.  DST is extraordinarily dumb.

Draw interest.
