Daylight Saving Time

[foszoe]

Some people like their sunshine boiling hot so they can thumb their nose at global warming and call it a hoax. It was 80 when I got back to hotel.

Funny thing is, I am in the middle of Chicago in Lake Shore Park, and my dog met his half brother completely by chance getting his morning exercise with his owner, a nurse that just got off night shift.

I was asleep then and had no need for the sun to shine at that time, will use that light this evening.

When most Americans are sitting on their behinds inside in front of a TV.

True that! Or like us on a computer….

God no. I can't read it on my little phone screen.

I’m not sure how dog-half-brother-things work, but that just seems a strange thing to know.

Welcome to the summer solstice! Darker days are ahead. (And today is the peak of the circadian rhythm adverse impact of DST. It only gets better from here.)

When it's humid, and still close to 90*... No thanks.

Well. There's some truth to that. I've been thinking that I should go out early, say around 7AM, and work outside until 9AM, then head to the office in my basement to work. Speaking of which, time to go.

15 hours and 1 minute of daylight today

That would be true if sunrise was 0603 and sunset 2104 as it was under the imperialist DST system or if it was 0503/2004 as God intended

At least we’ll have a beautiful strawberry moon to look at tonight!

DST brought to you by the friendly neighborhood HOA where all the cyclists live so instead of riding early and not bothering anyone, they can maximize impact to innocent motorists

I don't think anyone has argued that a day has any more or any fewer hours of sunlight whether society observes DST or ST. The preference is 100% predicated around the social construct we casually call a clock. Both preferences are concerned with when on the clock does the sun rise and set.

Or maybe that's not completely true. Maybe some don't really care. Maybe some prefer ST because it's the way it's always been. Maybe some prefer DST simply because it's different.

OR, maybe it something to do with having Noon being when the Sun is highest in the sky, which is almost 2PM for you guys.

We save daylight but cannot figure out what time it is on the moon.

What Time Is It on the Moon?

Lunar astronauts will need to synchronize their watches on future missions. But on a rock that rotates much slower than Earth, time gets weird fast.

I love my DST. I get all my outside chores done plus time to play golf in the evenings. We should stay on this time year round. It’s dark most of the time in the winter so what does it matter the time on the clock?

So you’re saying you’re a vampire?

I don’t believe you.

If only the sun had a light switch.

I guess if you want to stretch it. Middle of the day is not really sunrise or sunset, but sure.
