Clock time change

[GaryE]

We had the clock change here, as of last night. It's great for taking the pup out in the morning, but I have a few aquarium lights to reset timers on. Don't forget to add that to your day's things to do list.

Our clocks changed last weekend. I changed everything except the fish tank light timers, I don't change those at all. It just means that I feed the fish before cooking our dinner instead of after. Then next spring I'll start feeding them after our dinner again.

Oh yahh, thanks for reminding us
I changed all my other clocks, but not the aquarium's

I fixed all my clocks

I have smart plugs for the lights on my 2 tanks. The time automatically is adjusted for the time change.
They also automatically reset after a power failure.

We already changed the clock a week earlier... Now it seems so dark quite early outside already.

I like standard time . It’s true time because it’s based on the sun being directly overhead at noon . Daylight Savings Time is just goofy .

I'm the exact opposite...what's GOOFY is the sun setting at 5 in the afternoon...

Back in the late 1960s/early 70s, the UK experimented with not changing the clocks in autumn, staying on summer time all year. I was at school then, catching the bus at 8.10 am and returning at 4 pm. During the experiment it was very dark going to school and light when coming home. Before and after the experiment (when the clocks were turned back) it was getting light when I left and getting dark when I got home. I lived in north west England about half way between the south coast of England and the tip of north Scotland. From what I read, it only got light mid morning during the experiment in northern Scotland.
From a child's (well, teenager's) point of view it was scary having to cross roads in rush hour before it got light going to school. Coming home was earlier than rush hour so even when we started changing the clocks again it wasn't totally dark in December so less scary.



As for the fish, I don't change their timers. I just change my feeding routine.
