Misc This Means WAR

I don't really care either way because I work night shift and am barely awake during the day but like our sunrise in January would be 835am on permanent DST

Needless to say I'll believe it when I see it... I just don't see it happening here

But just think about it from a pure wx enthusiast standpoint whether one sleeps during the night or the day. The more we have standard time, the more we’d have every single run of every model coming out one hour earlier than that of DST! Because of this, lexx’s idea of all year std time sounds appealing. But assuming that won’t happen, I want winter to remain in standard time at the least as it’s always been except 1974. Winter is when we all get the most excited about the Euro and other models. We’re waiting with bated breath!

Our sunrises are already pretty late here to begin with. I mean we have the opposite problem of Alabama which is early with sunsets(I lived there I remember) Even right now it's 6am the earliest it ever gets and I mean this is the nearly 15 hour days right now. We start losing daylight in 4 weeks
 
Today is Memorial Day where we honor those that have sacrificed their blood and lives serving our country in the military. God Bless everyone of them and their families. I lost an uncle in WWII just a few weeks before the fighting ended. (Yes I’m old) He was shot on by snipers on Okinawa.. only 18 years old. My dad was serving as a crew chief on a B-26 bomber in Europe when he got the word about his younger brother.

Just a reminder of what our president thinks about the wounded and KIA heroes… the Medal of Honor isn’t as good as the civilian Medal of Freedom because beautiful healthy people are awarded the Medal of Freedom while the Medal of Honor only goes to people riddled by bullets

Seriously though I wish Trump was this concerned about why gas is $4 or meat is $8 a pound. Shrugs

Those are the real problems right now. It just seems weird to be obsessed with what the time is

That’s a good point about how this could be perceived. DST is one of those topics people have opinions about when it comes up and you ask them, but it won’t make people rise up and protest or rave about one way or another.

I do wonder though if somewhere, somehow, there’s one voter out there where DST is THE most important issue. The voter that says forget Iran, or abortion, or immigration, gas prices, environmental regulation, gun rights, redistricting, election integrity, taxes, tariffs, foreign policy, screw all of that cause what's that got to do with me? What's up with how dark it gets at 5pm in December???

There absolutely must be some folks for which DST vs ST is the #1 issue. Who would they be? Some wx weenies who want their models out ASAP (I mean per what the clock says, of course) badly enough! ;)
