Time Change

[Mercy Now]

How timely ;) that the new time for time change and the problems some technology is having with it ,takes place during the Mercury Retrograde.:D

I have not seen one thing about the new time change.  When is it? 

[DreamTime]

The first Sunday in November...I think. That's when we turn the clocks back.

Polly, I think it's November 4th. I'm going to double check myself.

:D Apparently DT and I are on the same clock.

If we are talking about daylight savings, we went forward on Sunday.

[DreamTime]

AJ...for us, it is pushed back a week. It was all over the news. I don't know why they did it, but they did.

[Astrojewels]

There would be a reason, you just have to find out why? personally I do not like daylight savings, I don’t like the fact that they can just change time when they feel like it, it is only good when you are a teenager and want to stay out having fun for longer.

Every year, I never get used to losing that hour.  I always think in terms of what time it would be w/o the time change when I look at a clock.  I always tell myself it's an hour earlier than the clock says during the time change period.  Then when the clocks are turned back an hour in the fall, I feel more in tune.  It would suffice to say I find the time change irritating and never adjust because my body is on regular time probably because of the sun.

Here is a link to the rationale behind DST. For whatever reason it wouldn't let me copy .

This is funny from the link:

A writer in 1947 noted, "I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves." (Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947, XIX, Sunday.)
