Right! Before I retired it was really tough on me to change times, especially in the days when I had to get to work at 6:30 a.m. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, March 8, 2013 7:42 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Daylight Savings Time Agreed, Ann. The S&T article Chuck posted says it all. All this switching costs money, wastes energy and makes people sick. Lets just pick one time and stick with it. It seems like with so many of our state legislators wanting to "stick it to the feds" that they'd want to pull Utah off of DST just to spite them. But no such luck. Hmmm, maybe if we started a rumor that extra sunlight in the evening is bad for guns, DST would be banned in Utah immediately. :) As for clocks changing themselves, make sure you get one that was made recently. I've got one I bought a year or so ago and it diligently changes the time when we used to change. So now I have to change it 4 times a year. Oh Vey!

The issue for people is not a lack of arithmetic skills or even age. It has to do with a change in body rhythms. Studies show it is difficult to adjust ones' internal clocks and compromises immune systems. Think about studies done on people who have to adjust to different shift work and the damage that does to ones' health.
