I set mine back Friday so I can get used to that crap. I still don't like getting dark at 5:30.

I really wish they'd dump this crap as there's really no need for daylight savings.

Also a great reminder to change batteries in smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and other life safety devices (including WMLs).

I don't mind it. It sure is nice to have daylight till 10 pm in the summer. Doesn't matter to me when the temperature drops....

I guess instead of waking up at 0200 I'll wake up at 0100...

Still sucks when you got to work at 0530.

It sucks!
I hate it getting dark so early!
I'm fine with daylight savings time in the spring but hate falling back in the fall.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

You mean there are clocks in use that don’t reset themselves?

Only the coffee maker must be reset here.

Well, ok, the oven, too.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

That would work too as the damned twice a year changes would be GONE!

I used to advocate for Daylight Savings but now I would prefer to be on Standard always.

The extra hour sleep tonight is the ONLY thing I like about the time change.

I wish that we could do away with it; don't much care which way we go Standard or DST.
