Let’s just pick one and stay with it year round! I hate the adjustment!

I’m looking to write a Ballot initiative here in California...to put “Daylight Savings Time”... on the Ballot.

The frustration of weeks of adjustment...alone make it a hindrance.

I’d be happy to stay with DST year round.

My vote is pick a time and stick with it. I hate the time change.

In WWII Stalin put the Soviet Union on DST. He forgot to take them off it and they stayed on it until long after his death. (Food for thought. For those of you who pray for immortality, imagine what life would be like if Stalin, FDR, any Kennedy or Obama lived forever. If you think you’re tired of hearing from Jimmy Carter now, wait 50 years. You’ll really be tired of him by then.)

Me too. Here in AZ it means the west coast ballgames start on time and games from the east are at 5 or 5:30.

That’s right if I want a longer blanket all I have to do is cut 12 inches off one end and sew it back onto the other.

Stooopidest thing from the 70s ever

I’m gonna invent a clock that automatically adjusts itself so you can have 40 hours in a day. You’ll still have to work eight hours but through creative adjustments this will only take about 15 minutes.

Thanks. At least we have some excellent private schools here where we learn, among other subjects, spelling and grammar.

Yes, the time zone difference can be quite an inconvenience.

Out here in West Texas being in the central time zone, DST makes the afternoons extra long.
