Turning Back The Clock

    Quoting MyBaffies:
    Our clocks changed last weekend. Some want to change it so that it is lighter in the winter evenings, but that would mean it staying dark until 10am in northern parts of the UK.

    Seemingly China has only one time zone which must make for interesting sun rise and set times across the country.
All kinds of interesting debates take place about this. Finding the right balance isn’t easy.

Awake way too early. Always wonder how my dog easily adjusts to the change 🤔🐶

Quoting sexyldy1000: Not having it observed consistently must me confusing, especially for tourists 😱

I wouldn't know, because I've never asked the tourists. What may make them even more confused is the fact that the entire Province is NOT on the same time zone. But, just look at a map of BC and you'll see we are pretty big.

Why that was done, I"m not sure, but you can also see the same thing when you look at a time zone map of the US and Canada, where the same thing was done in parts of Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and several other States and Provinces.

The corner I live in, (the SE portion, "tucked under Alberta", has always been on a different time than the rest of the Province, so since is just to the West, they are either on the same time as us, or the same time as the rest of BC - and there is a highway sign to indicate whether you should change your watch/clock.

Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

I still think there is a time sync issue since DST. Everything is off by exactly 1 hour

If you're not quoting me.... I can't see your responses... Just saying... It's getting late here . . Almost 2...

And it shows as 2:42 when you responded which is closer to 3, not 2.
Oh well.. I just have to put us with the discrepancy until Spring!

If you could turn back time, would you? Is there a time you would want to return to? Does the opportunity to ‘do over’ appeal to you?

Where’d the daylight go? It’s like living in a mine now. Meh.

I know what you mean - sucks doesn't it?

It shows your comment was posted at 11:17 hence the time sync error
It was windy here but otherwise uneventful. I was at work which was nuts!

Are you an early bird 🦅 or a night owl 🦉?
My problem is that I am both so I don’t get a lot of sleep.

I am both an early bird AND a night Owl.. I can burn the candle at both ends with equal prowess...
So... Which end should we start with? I can tell you that... either one would finish at the same spot... Come closer and I'll tell you where.. You won't be disappointed... 😘 R u the shy type or do you like to take measured risks? I have a plan... ❤️🌹

Definitely NOT the shy type....that should be obvious. Some risk usually leads to better rewards.
Let’s start at night... think you could keep up?
