I hope those that are celebrating Thanksgiving today have a wonderful day and can realise the blessings of all that we have. It has been a wonderful year with a lot of great friends.

I second those thoughts, Rick.
I hope those north of the border have a enjoyable day.

Yes Thank you !!

And maybe one of your presidents will finally fix ya up with moving your Thanksgiving also to mid-October. Okay Okay that would be a stretch . . . . :slight_smile:

I have a Canadian friend who likes the two holidays. That way they can celebrate both!

Geez, what’s wrong with the changing of the time change involved with “Daylight savings”, longer daylight in the evening is nice?

#12

We have one nearby school district that with longer school days the buses are picking up and dropping kids off in the dark.
“Daylight savings” was created for business so they won’t have to use lights as much. Their feeling was if we have to use more power, "oh well.!

#13

I’m 50/50 on the change. I like the early start because in the Spring I’m raring to go and a half hour of daylight when I get home is a gift. But once fall comes, I don’t even bother to work outside during the week, and I hate getting up in the dark.

Now if the gummint could figure a way to actually keep the earth from tilting back North, I’d support that (Sorry Tony - you get 12 months of winter).

#14

Is time change on 11/1 or 11/8? Under the old way would it have been on 10/25? It is still light after 6:30 pm here and with 70 degree temps that is nice.

…Hibernation solves all the problems…

#16

I just google it and got November 1.

Yeah, But I need the extra hour of daylight........in the Winter. Ralph

I want to save an hour of sunlight from the summer when it is light until after 9pm and use it in the winter when it is dark by 5:30. While we’re doing that can we also take 10 degrees from our 100’s and add them to our 30’s

Quiz:

Does anyone know what time the sun sets, and what time the sun rises on the equator? (mar 21, jun 21, sept 21, dec 21)

Assume that your position within the time zone puts the sun at it’s highest point exactly at noon.

Quiz 2,

If you want sunlight later in the day (by your clock), which end of the time zone do you want to be at, the west end, or the east end?
