Matthew wrote: Besides changing your clocks back an hour Also check your Smoke detectors Is it that time again, already? (Arizona, being a law unto itself, doesn't participate, but out of consideration for friends elsewhere, I try to keep track to avoid telephoning them at inconvenient hours.) |

All this changing around upsets my cats - and me, when the cats think they should be fed an hour earlier than the clock says they should. Joy |

Joy Snaggly's clock is his stomach: it says, "We're up, let's eat!" My clock says that much later so 30# of ragdoll flops on my head. Snag's stomach does not honor nor revert twice a year, it's kinda like AZ that way. He keeps his views on immigration reform to himself. |

He often starts reminding me as much as an hour early. And that's before we go off of DST. Joy |

When do you folks return to Daylight savings? There's been mutterings here, and more strongly further north,of having reverse daylight savings, that is,instead of having more hours of daylight at the end of the day, of having less. In other words, at the height of summer, instead of the sun going down at about 8pm (daylight savings time) or 7pm (AEST or solar time) it would go down at 6pm in summer. Why? Because daylight saving was put in place to save energy [1] - but that was when most energy was going to lighting. The longer the sun was in the sky after people got home from work, the less hours of artificial lighting were needed. This is no longer the case. The biggest energy drain in summer here is not lighting, but when people get home from work and turn on their a/c. In effect they are having to cool the house whilst it is still almost at the warmest point of the day and still has 3 or so hours of solar radiation to go. If it was dark, or nearly dark, when they got home from work, the house would have had the opportunity too cool down some before they got home, and the a/c would be negating the heat in the ambient air, rather than also having to negate the effect of solar radiation on the building as well as ambient conditions. Th other advantage of having reverse daylight savings would be having more daylight hours in the morning, when its coolest.If people could cope with the idea of getting up at 3 or 4am (I couldn't) they'd have quite a few hours of daylight - but cool, morning daylight - to get stuff done around the house before going to work. If we wanted to maximise our energy effeciency, we'd have to quite radically change the way we go about our day, and how we design and structure how we live and what we live in. I fully admit: I am not there yet. Yowie |
