| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | At my house it is still glorious daylight savings time and will be for the foreseeable future. The sun's not going down tonight till 6:30 at my house. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4175 | As a retired guy, it really makes little difference to me. Just means when I start golfing the clock is one hour earlier. I start depending on when the frost has melted! |

We try to go out at first light and first tee time. Even in Las Vegas we will get the occasional frost delay in the morning. My golfing has concluded for the year as I just packed up the golf clubs for the move. I doubt I will golf at all the rest of the year as I won't have any friends in Florida for a while.

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12532 | The Senate just unanimously passed a bill making daylight savings time permanent.
If the House passes it: bye-bye to changing our clocks twice a year. Yay bipartisanship! “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3100 | It is a hassle having to recalibrate all the clocks; by count there's four in vehicles, seven in the house and myriad watches. I won't miss it. |

| kenarman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 14 Posts: 4515 | I wish they had left it on regular time not daylight savings. Now the kids where I live will be walking to school in the dark and it won't have started warming yet with the sun still down. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1985 | Sixty million kids will be going to school in the dark, if they make it permanent. They tried it in '73 with disastrous results. "And yet the early-morning darkness quickly proved dangerous for children: A 6-year-old Alexandria girl was struck by a car on her way to Polk Elementary School on January 7; the accident broke her leg. Two Prince George’s County students were hurt in February. In the weeks after the change, eight Florida kids were killed in traffic accidents. Florida’s governor, Reubin Askew, asked for Congress to repeal the measure. “It’s time to recognize that we may well have made a mistake,” US Senator Dick Clark of Iowa said during a speech in Congress on January 28, 1974.
