The semi-annual assault on our clocks and senses is tonight!

When, oh when, can we stop this absurdity?

1. But this is the good one. We gain 1/2 hour.

I think we should "fall back" one hour a month, and NEVER "spring forward," so we gain an hour every month.

Downsides:
- more injuries from people falling off stools while adjusting clocks
- this time next year, day would be night and night would be day (that's an up side if you're a vampire)
- false sense of perpetual youth as we age more slowly due to the extra time we have

2. it just doesn't belong

how about we never adjust the clocks forward OR back and just let time be time.

3. I'm OK with that as long as

we pick the fall time.

I consider tonight the reclamation of my hour from the hour stealing bastards!

4. Time zones are fairly new. Before them, railroad time; before railroad time was local noon.

Sunrise and sunset in our time zone regime vary quite a bit depending on how far east or west you are in your time zone.

I like Daylight Savings Time but since I take my dog for a walk at 730AM, she has trouble adjusting to the differing light conditions. Takes 3 - 4 days.

5. I never have liked DST.

I'd be perfectly happy with no "spring forward" or "fall back."

It's less stressful now that I'm in a work situation that's less clock-bound and don't have kids at home who are on a rigid schedule, but I still don't like the clock lag that comes twice a year.

6. In Hawaii, there is no semi-annual assault on our clocks and senses.

7. copycats!

8. oh yeah?

9. I can never remember. Tonight, is it "spring nowhere" or "fall nowhere".

One of the few "political" things this state as a whole does right. Back when they
introduced DST, it was pretty much voluntary for the first few years (though
virtually every state joined in).
.
Arizona tried it for a year, but there was so much backlash from Arizonans that
we opted out of it.

10. Save daylight? Preposterous.

Jeez, if only we could ship some out.
