+Team Tecmage Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I usually HATE the first few weeks after "springing forward" to DST. It usually takes that long to get used to the sun beating me up in the morning. One year, I moved from Texas (Central Time) to Michigan (Eastern Time). About three weeks after moving, we switched to DST. I wasn't right for about three months! I do have to say that DST does make it a lot easier to Geocache after work. So, I guess I'm starting to like this earlier time. Richard Quote Link to comment
+BT5 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Absolutely! I started geocaching in November -- it's been five months of cold and darkness. Now I'm looking forward to hitting a lot of the new caches that have cropped up -- before the bugs and vegetation grow too thick... Nick BT5 Quote Link to comment
+Glenn Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Its even worse in Europe. They do it one week before the states does it. So not only do I have to deal with a time change I also have to deal with the fact that the states hasn't yet. Thankfully, most people I deal with use UTC. I've been told why we have daylight savings but it sounds very out of date to me. I mean come on if you depend on daylight then why can you just adjust the time you do things. - Lone Rangers Quote Link to comment
OFF RODE Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Frankly Im rather glad we dont do DST here in Az, just what we need when its 115....Id rather have the hour in the AM when its only 105.

dbpx3 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 As a fellow Arizonan, I'm with JeepNAz. It's too hot to get that extra hour later in the day, give it to me in the morning! Get on with Living or Get on with Dying... Quote Link to comment
+Team Rex Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I was born in AZ and lived there for 35 years. We used to have a lot of confusion because Dad worked for the railroad and they went on daylight savings time so we had "our time" and "Dad's time". I think the reservations are on DSL too. We're looking forward to coming home (Tucson) for a visit next month and finding some caches. Chris from Team Rex Quote Link to comment
+GeoForse Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Y'know, when I was a young pup, I didn't think that the change bothered me at all. Now, it seems that by the time I get used to it, its time to change back . Actually, it does seem that the older I get, the longer it takes to get used to it. However, the extra time geocaching makes up for it. It's just that since I retired, I don't seem to have any time for GCing. Hmmm? Time to reorder my priorities. GeoForse Quote Link to comment
