Daylight Saving Time ended, early on Sunday morning (November 1, 2009), in our country. I, personally, needed to reset my wris****ch, several clocks, various electronic devices, a number of digicams and my lone DSLR (Pentax K100D); initially, I forgot a few of the devices (including some cameras), and did them later. As someone living in a country where DST is not used, I have never been able to understand the logic behind the practice or how it's considered to be worth all the disruption and adjustments it makes necessary. By adjustments, I mean not just the twice-a-year resetting of clocks, but also adjusting life (personal, business, time-critical management, etc.) to the new timings. But I'm not blindly criticising something I don't understand. I'm open to enlightenment. No logic to it at all. It's claimed it saves energy, but a study in Indiana (a 'split' state) showed that to be totally bogus. It's psychological - that's all. And a huge waste of resources, resetting all the damned clocks twice a year. It should certainly be abolished - would make life simpler all the way around. Maybe it doesnt matter to the **** ass small northeastern US states, but it matters alot to those who live in the large mountain western states like Utah, Nevada, Colorado etc... |
