Thanks, Matthew.

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.)

Besides changing your clocks back an hour

You're a week late.

Heck! I haven't got used to the last change as yet. My nights and days
get all mixed up.

I wish they'd make up their minds where they want the clocks and just leave
them there. 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.

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.

My cats have dry food available all the time, but Waffles has to have a
little bit of gooshy food every day. I give it to him at 6:30. He often
starts reminding me as much as an hour early. And that's before we go off
of DST.

And we set our clocks forward at the start of October! Seems very late
to be changing them back to Solar time... 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.

We go on it earlier and off it later every year.
