It messes me up for a week.<br /><br />Syl- I could never adjust to the shifts you have worked for years. I sure am glad there are folks like you who can and are willing to do it for the rest of us.

I just want to STOP having to readjust twice a year.<br /><br />Hey Nancy & Bill,<br />If the time change would get tires that would make ONE good reason to do it. BELIEVE ME I am SO sick of this tire search. It is just silly that we can't find the tires that were on the Brave and that Gin & Syl had NO TROUBLE at all getting. Looking into XZEs to see if we can get them. I sure don't want to drive to TN with these 8 year old tires and their cracked sidewalls.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-82920006616007735102011-03-13T20:37:04.431-04:002011-03-13T20:37:04.431-04:00What I want to know is will changing the time help...What I want to know is will changing the time help you get your tires? ;0) <br /><br />I am still waiting to hear that they have arrived and you will be all ready to come to the rally a couple days early !!! <br />NancyNancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-66493763403612691032011-03-13T20:19:37.444-04:002011-03-13T20:19:37.444-04:00I enjoyed this post.

Leaving DST is fine with me.<br /><br />Welcome Powers Family. Glad to hear from you. I think both you and Syl are right that, like most everything else, this is motivated by one version or another of the corporate america lobby. Just wish we'd all pick a day and inundate our congress persons with a flood of phone calls and emails and tell them we are sick of it.<br /><br />And to you especially Syl, I don't know how in the world you have done it. TWENTY SEVEN years. Just amazing. I'd be in the loony bin for sure. Counting the days with you to retirement. It really is GRAND!!!!!!!!!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-79406245101681261092011-03-13T11:46:34.255-04:002011-03-13T11:46:34.255-04:00You may have answered the question in your post. ...You may have answered the question in your post. Like almost everything...it's about Money! Look at how much money has been pumped into our economy this week end.<br />Syl<br />PS..If ya think a one hour change is tough on a body, switch up on day shift/night shift for 27 years!

Like you we do not care for the constant switching back and forth. Most of the reasons given to support it are, as you pointed out, not valid. Probably the real reason is people spend more money when it is light outside. That would suggest the movement is driven by business concerns.Powers Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062801355691496359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-46697202967491283702011-03-13T10:11:17.508-04:002011-03-13T10:11:17.508-04:00It doesn't bother me much.

I don't need the sun in the morning-it takes me 2 cups of coffee to wake up whatever the time- but I sure like the extra daylight in the evening.Gail Houlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514395566282599562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-30629434612186785072011-03-13T09:27:04.165-04:002011-03-13T09:27:04.165-04:00Welcome Kimberly and Jerry.

So good to have you. <br /><br />Your point about time zones is well taken and perhaps once I am traveling out west and going frequently through hour changes to my up with the sun schedule, I'll be more accustomed to it and more tolerent of what seems so pointless to me.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the comment.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-28644994028146673712011-03-13T09:16:00.474-04:002011-03-13T09:16:00.474-04:00Before we began full-timing, we were in Arizona, w...Before we began full-timing, we were in Arizona, which is now the only state that does NOT change the clocks and WE LOVED IT! <br /><br />Since we began traveling it seems we are changing our time zone all the time and changing clocks are a part of it. There are several times when we forget to change one or another and then the state of confusion takes hold. One of the reasons we bought a time zone map that is on our wall so we can see where we are and which time zone we are in, and my computer clock is always on Arizona time...just because...<br /><br />It wouldn't bother us the least if this daylight savings ceased to exist, but otherwise who cares because really and truly...Does anybody really know what time it is anyway?Along the Way with JnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016391687029664293noreply@blogger.com
