Touchdown! Greaser!
This one is going to be hard to adjust to! Its pitch dark here. And I have no less than 20 clocks to adjust.
This morning, I'm talking with TRACON about tracking my traffic watch flight. He keeps saying 1415Z for a 1015 Local departure and it doesn't hit me for a while. This is after I changed every clock in the house last night.This one is going to be hard to adjust to! Its pitch dark here. And I have no less than 20 clocks to adjust.
... Folks, it's the SAME FRICKING NUMBER OF HOURS OF DAYLIGHT! (Not yelling at the smart people here but at the dumb people who thought this up.) I...
Rant off.

Agreed!
And while we're at it...
Two more that's a pet peeve's of mine are the "Longest day of the year " and the "shortest day of the year". Seems to me it's the same 24 no matter hwere or what time of the year.

Matt, you don't have a clock on a cell phone? So, was the last half of the movie worth twice it's value?

I think that's more of a personal compass isssue. Or, is it moral compass?I know what you mean, ATC was calling traffic for me today at 3 oclock, same altitude. Took me a moment to realize he hadn't set his radar's clock and it was really at my 2 oclock!

Technically, didn't we go to -4 FROM -5? (I'm EST)

Thus the ambiguity of describing both a thing, and a subset of that thing, by the same name.- OK, I'll concede that you could call that day but does that mean in Alaska they don't have 365 days in a year? Just one long day, one long night with a few days and nights between them.

That's what I thought. I'm so confused now
I love DST and think it should be double DST in the summer like Britain did in WWII. Who needs to have light outside at 5 AM?
That would make sunset here after 10 and finally dark around 11, that's like being in Alaska.

I wake with the sunrise - always - which is a real PITA in summer because I don't need to get up at 5 AM.
