Tonight we fall back. Maybe for the last time? I used to always argue that we should stay in DST, but after reading articles about the implications of that possible reality, I changed my mind. And for real, it’s kind of a big deal (for me) because I had STRONG feelings about this. I vehemently supported spending the whole year in DST. Now I’m worried Biden will actually sign it and this really will be our last time falling back.
I do hate changing the clocks twice a year, but I obviously like falling back more than springing forward. I can always use an extra hour! And I’m ready for it to be a little lighter in the mornings. It’s been so dark when I drive to work at 6:45am.
So tonight I’m going to embrace falling back. Who knows, I may miss it some day.
Not clock changing would be wonderful.
I’ve been seeing the same articles re which time setting to change to permanently. I will be interested to see if science is given any respect or consideration in the decision. Would be interesting to know what people who live farther north think of which choice would be their preference.
Hope you got the extra sleep last night and that you are having a good weekend!
It’s not even just farther north – it also matters for west/east where you are at in each time zone how this will affect you if we quit changing.
I keep hearing that there a lot more accidents if we don’t change time and that seems serious enough not to change the system no matter how much I hate it.
I’m the same as you – used to think year round DST but now I’m thinking I don’t mind the change so much because of articles I’ve read!
