Can I Just Say...

...that I really, really, REALLY hate Daylight Savings Time?

That is all.

I didn't mind DST too much when it started the first weekend in April.

Mid-March, however, is too damn early. I LIKE having it light out when my alarm goes off. It helps me get going.

Seconded on all counts.

Might have been necessary once upon a time, but now it is just an archaic, unnecessary remnant.

But, Jaaaaay,

Think of ALL the energy it is saving. All that fossil fuel that we save by moving the clock forwards or backwards every six months. Al (save the iceburgs)Gore must be glad he thought of the idea.

I still think it is a plot by the battery manufacturers to convince you to buy more 9 volt batteries.

IIRC the whole idea of DST was started back during the depression to allow the farmers more time outside to work their crops. So 70 years later the .gov is still messing around with it. Gives a wonderful feeling about .gohealth-care.

Agg79, count the months, it's no longer changed every 6 months, we're up to 7 1/2 months of Daylight Savings Time and only 4 1/2 months of "Standard Time".
We might as well give up and switch to all savings time all the time, except then someone will look at the times of sunrise and sunset in April, May, June, July and August and propose some "double savings time" or some such thing.

I'd be perfectly happy with UTC-4 year round. Daylight in the evening when I can have fun is better than daylight when I'm hopefully still sleeping.
