I love DST. It's a reminder to me that spring/summer is on the way. I'm glad the extended it from March thru Nov.

Daylight saving time is pointless. What about the nights? You're making the nights shorter. Have night saving time! Some of us are mobsters or farmers.

Yea but don't you like the longer days? Night time will always get here eventually. Stay up an hour later then and make up for it. I don't know, to me, it's nice having longer days especially in the summer.

Well, it's like spring here today. Currently 81 and sunny and clear. I love it.

Can't come soon enough! I love the extended daylight hours. It's wonderful to be able to cook outside without a flashlight, sit out in the backyard after dinner. Just love it.
I don't like it. Spring forward indeed. I need the extra sleep!

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Wasn't DST extended during the G.W. Bush administration? I remember being very happy w/ that decision but am still not used to the March time change even after 4+ years.
Always find myself saying....
ALREADY!?!?

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

I was very happy that the duration of DST was lengthened. The best part was trick or treating and it was still daylight!
Edit: taking the kids trick or treating, lest someone think I'm a creeper.
Cool. Did anyone go as a clown????

On the clock the day is 23 hours instead of 24. If you choose to lose the hour of sleep that is entirely up to you. I will still sleep the same amount of time, so I actually lose an hour of my waking day. You only lose an hour if you have to get up at a specified time.....like for church on Sunday morning.

Or work Monday thru Friday.

Sorry Vin, that's perverted...not funny, unless you're pedophile. The FBI might be tracking you as we speak..write...whatever.
You bring up a great point. Ok so for the FBI men, who are probably reading this with great concern. That was a pedophile joke everybody! I am not a pedophile. I LOVE CHILDREN. Ok, that ought to calm them. However, if you can't laugh at a few off color pedophile jokes, you may need to loosen up and have a Manhattan.
