Welcome back Pacific Standard time
State, National, International, posted by Editor, Pleasanton Weekly Online, on Nov 5, 2011 at 2:58 pm

Pacific Standard Time came back at 2 a.m. this morning, ending more than six months of daylight saving time that found most of us leaving for work and school in the dark in the last few weeks.

Why don't we vote to always have DLS time ?

Why do we have to keep changing back the clocks? Didn't that start in the old days and shouldn't we do without now? This is kind of annoying, to be switching back and forth.

Its time to do away with changing the clocks, our politicans in Sacramento our only interested in spending money, they don't have. We our no longer a farm community

Joy,

Generally, the farm community hates daylight savings time. I know, I was one for years.

However, now that I am a city slicker, I love daylight savings time. That extra hour of daylight in the evening is great for BBQing, working in the yard, doing home projects, playing golf, playing with the kids, sports, etc. I wish we had DST year round.
