In the Good ould Summertime, in Ireland, if/when the temperature gets up
to about 73 degrees F or higher, those people start falling out from the
heat.73 degrees here in Missy Sippy is cool weather.Currently, 57
degrees inside my flower box on doggy's front porch.

It really is sad that people are such stupid sheep that clocks have to be put
forward to fool them into thinking they're getting more daylight when all
it actually is doing is making them get out of and go back to bed 1 hour
earlier than they would be doing otherwise.

It goes from sad to scary when you realize that such people are in
the majority -- and can vote.

With every good wish,

Adjusting one's schedule can have some benefits. I look forward to
additional daylight and warmth following my workday to get in that
daily bicycle ride. OTOH, it does nothing for amateur astronomers and
only makes us DXers stay up later.

The summer here doesn't do amateur astronomers any favours. In June the
sky never gets completely dark. I once got home at 1am in mid June, and
looked up to see a dark blue sky. Apparently in Northern Scotland it
doesn't get any darker than twilight.

When I am put in charge, we will have daylight savings all year long and
double daylight savings in the summer. Lots of long summer nights.


This is what they did in the former USSR. Also, there were times when the
U.S. was on DST continuously. Once was during the Ford administration I
believe. It had something to do with saving fuel or some such nonsense.

The power of the Commie RIGGED Phoney Fraud Fake Votes!

Longest Summertime Daylight here, the Sun sets somewhere around after
about 8:45 PM, or thereabouts, I think.

If people want more daylight in the evenings, there is nor particular
reason why they can't just get up earlier.

Most people don't have control over their work schedule. Daylight
savings does give them an extra hour of daylight.
