Throttle" data-source="post: 21617563" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch">Yeah. With USA and Australia currently in dls. I am 15 hours in front of New York. In a month, it'll be 14 hours. And we have just come off 16 hours.mind blown
the whole summer and winter vs up here and down there got me again
QLD and WA don't do DLS, in case the cows get confused
My state (ok, I do share it with Peter) is looking to pass a bill to make DST permanent, which in my mind would be like deciding not to be in the Pacific Time Zone any more. Don't get me wrong, I hate, hate, HATE loosing an hour of sleep every spring, but couldn't they have figured out a way of giving us our hours of sleep back?
I did find a way to turn this recent turn of clocks to turn to my advantage
I made a brisket over the weekend. Threw it on Saturday night and Sunday lunch time it was done. Since I threw it on before DST and took it off after, I think I reduced the cook time by an hour. Don't break my heart here, its probably not the way it works, I'm just trying to justify the loss of sleep somehow.

In my mind the initial reason for DST is no longer valid and we should just get rid of it altogether.
BTW, trivia time.....if the clock would have been invented in the southern hemisphere they would turn the opposite way because sundials point south in Doff's hemisphere.
Ya but my state is planning on making it permanent. We would be on permanent summer time, which is that way 8 months a year. If we did away with it altogether, we'd be on permanent winter time which is only 4 months out of the year.
I think that having it dark out an hour longer every morning in the winter is going to seriously affect a lot of people's mental health.
Somehow, early dark in the afternoon/eve seems sad but natural in Seattle winters; but slogging through long mornings in blackness, I think, is going to mess with people's brains.
Also, doesn't it seem like the sun should be @ zenith at noon?
I'm a strong advocate of: what if nature has spent our entire lives shaping us to cope in the natural world "as is"? . . . and maybe we should just go with the way the universe has set stuff up for us and we've adapted to?
I mean, how clever and manipulative do we really need to be here?

And that's on top of the rain and gray skies.
you know, we don't really do that anymore.
it's actually quite rare to have more than a couple of "Seattle days" strung together.
lots more clear and partly cloudy skies than we used to have.
Think that might be early spring?
Good evening.
Doffy good evening list
