Silly and outdated, I say meet in between with a half-hour adjustment just to mess everything up, then leave it alone for good!

I like the extra daylight during the warm weather. It gives us more time for kids' baseball practice, lets us tee off a bit later for after work golf leagues, and I enjoy sitting on the deck in the evening watching the sunset.

I'd rather that we end up on one system and stay there. Being that we now have more of the year on DST than regular, we might as well just stay on DST all the time.

Or, the clock gets set back one hour every night at 2:00AM and then gets set forward one hour every afternoon at 4:00PM. laugh

Daylight savings time comparison.

Only the government thinks that you can take a foot off the bottom of a blanket, sew it on to the top of the blanket and make the blanket a foot longer.

The extra daylight is where it is regardless of how we mess with our clocks.

I just love the instant gratification of getting a bunch of daylight in the evening all at once, rather than waiting arounf for it naturally. It really jumpstarts my evening routine and I knwo I'm not the only one liek that.

Last ngith I enjoyed a walk with my hubby and dogs that didnt end until 7:30... smile

no, DQ is for DeeQ, the Mazda was for you...just because you got rid of it does not mean it isn't an option...after all, the AG option was shortened from AG Smells like pee, and you don't think he really...okay, never mind...

I don't really care either way, except for the process - changing my kids' internal clocks is a guaranteed pain in the butt for bedtime and wake-up for at least a few days every time...

Suddenly when the alarm goes off I have no motivation to get up. I'm blaming DST. The snooze button has really been abused the last week or so!

Good point. Gravity's never responsible for anything getting up!

Rolling in 10 minutes late really messes with the morning workout, but I have to make myself care about that too! Can't blame gravity there.
