12. Same number of hours of sunlight.

But a good thought.

13. We're changing the clocks, not the sun.

16. The fact that you had to add a sarcasm emogi....

Maximum cringe.

10. "Poor taste" is a very odd way to put it

[question everything]

14. First thing that came. Was going to use mocking..

[edisdead]

17. What is summer clock?

It happens when we are nowhere near summer.

[question everything]

18. Daylight Saving Time. We do use it in the summer and once upon a time

we would use both DST and Standard Time for six months each.

But some genius decided to add about four weeks to the "summer" one.

For example I remember when it was dark by 6:00 on Halloween. Now the kids they have to wait to 7:00 to start with their visits.

And as I posted, to think of long evening hours in daylight when so many of us are still shivering and shoveling is really like mocking us.

Just my indignation.

21. Rubio just reintroduced the bill to make it DST all year round

so that'd be worse still.

[edisdead]

22. Never heard it called the summer clock

It basically coincides with spring.

As a Minnesotan, who has done his fair share of shoveling, I happily take shoveling in the light and whatever warmth it does provide over the dark.

But I do hate the time jumping back and forth twice a year.

23. My "Poetic license?"

19. Bout time!

20. I think its great. I love the extra hour of sunlight in the evening. The sooner the better
