The Forgotten Daylight

Question of the Day: Longest Day

The solstice hits today and you know what that means! Ok, maybe you don’t. If you’ve forgotten your high school science, it’s the longest day of the year, or more precisely, the most hours of daylight. It’s also the official start of summer!

For today’s “Question of the Day,” a feature you will see on this site daily, we're asking you, the experts on your community, to tell us what you’re doing with that extra amount of daylight or marking the start of summer?

Catching up on some activities? Putting in air conditioners? Planning your vacation? Or are you stuck in class taking finals and Regents and plan on using the time to get a few more hours of studying?

What the people on the 254 would say to the Archbishop

Photo: Clara Molden By Graeme Archer It's not so bad in the summer: even at 6.30 in the morning, when I go for the bus, it's daylight. It's the winter I can't stand, when the sun has failed to rise even by the end of the 90-minute commute.

Daylight Saving Time vs. the World - Reinaldo Wright's blog

Guests were to arrive one April Sunday afternoon at 1:00pm. We were surprised when they showed up at noon as we were leaving to go to the grocery store. Their kids couldn't find the programs they wanted to watch on our TV. It wasn't until several hours later that we found out we had forgotten Daylight Saving Time had started, and of course, we were an hour behind our guests and our clocks didn't match up with the TV schedule! DST robs morning light to tack it onto the end of the day, leaving us early risers plunged back into darkness. Could we just measure hours of light before and after 12 pm and set the clocks like that once and for all? Then morning and evening people would have to call it even. People on this site seem amazed at the ferocity of opinions expressed. Don't be surprised...we are creatures of habit and giving up morning light means giving up a workout, a dog walk, cool temperature gardening....now for WAY more than half the year. That hits home...no wonder we're all furious. Split the light equally to before and after noon and call it done. Never a serious study has confirmed the supposed saving in energy consumption using summer time. In fact, some shower higer consumption due to use of air conditioning and more car riding. Current electricity consumption, lighting is a very small part and continue decreasing. Hassle, health & psychic problem overweight greatly supposed benefits. Stop this insanity!! Maybe all of you good folks should spend more time talking about our failed country leadership, about why they cant manage our money, about why they cant manage emergency responses, about why they spend time on rediculous things like gun control and abortion while people suffer from unemployment and corporate greed. Please, lets talk about something important. Don't waste your time here, get involved good citizens! with the rising cost of crude oil and gas, I suggest to have DST year round..it makes more sense, the daylight is beneficial for many things including the economy...most people come home from work in Standard time and after dinner sit and watch TV and become lazy and dormant, if it were to remain as longer days in the winter, people would be more apt to go out and get involved in other activities...they would be going and spending money after work, instead of becoming couch potatoes...we would use less energy etc. and with all the talk about "GREEN", WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN PUT INTO ACTION ALREADY...
