Patrick, my dad was a cattle rancher, and I milked cows (by hand). He said the cows did not understand DST. He solved the problem in his usual fashion. We lived just West of the Pacific/Mountain time zones, so, when Oregon went on DST, he went on MST, and just left the clocks alone. And, BTW, I believe it is Oy Vey.... or, just simply Oy. Depends upon just how vexed you are. 73 On 3/8/2013 7:42 PM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
Agreed, Ann. The S&T article Chuck posted says it all. All this switching costs money, wastes energy and makes people sick. Lets just pick one time and stick with it.
It seems like with so many of our state legislators wanting to "stick it to the feds" that they'd want to pull Utah off of DST just to spite them. But no such luck. Hmmm, maybe if we started a rumor that extra sunlight in the evening is bad for guns, DST would be banned in Utah immediately. :)
As for clocks changing themselves, make sure you get one that was made recently. I've got one I bought a year or so ago and it diligently changes the time when we used to change. So now I have to change it 4 times a year. Oh Vey!
Clear skies,
