I’m with Marco: DST forever!
PST, MST, CST, EST Forever!! ;-)
It is dumb to have the extra hour of daylight in the morning. They should have late at night when the crimes happen.
They don’t need Congress to permit anything. Arizona is not on daylight savings time, how did they get away with it?
Where I live, on the western edge of the time zone, it’s light in June ‘til 10:00 PM.
Day light savings time is totally senseless. Pick a time and stop annualy switching time.
I never understood why 60 silly minutes made such a difference in peoples lives. Everybody still gets 24 hours a day to manage. Manage accordingly.
I live in Arizona, and you’re exactly right. By evening in the summer, you just want the sun to go away.
Not all of Arizona stays on standard time. The Navajo Nation observes DST, but the Hopi Nation does not.
Not sure, but the Navajo territory does do DST. Go figure?
I vote to stay on standard time year round, but would not have a problem with moving a half hour upward and leaving it that way.
I too could compromise with a half-hour change if necessary, but I would prefer standard time year-round. During the summer I’m practically nocturnal anyway.
NO! I hate DST. Absolutely hate it. Keep Standard Time. If DST was to become the law of the land I’m moving to a location in the Central time zone. PERIOD!
Try telling that to the kids at the bus stops and the parents who want that extra hour of daylight in the morning hours!
Your electric bill must be something since you have all of those extra hot daylight hours. Makes no sense that anyone wants to pay higher electric bills especially in this time of soaring energy prices.
I belong to Clock Setters Local 312 and eliminating this twice a year time change will put me, and a lot of my clock setting union brothers and sisters out of a job!
This is one of the dumbest things that we still hang onto for no reason. End it. Now.
“...show some sign of intelligent life.”
You know THAT’s not gonna happen.
In these days of catastrophic Global Warming (tm) the very last thing we need to save is daylight. What if somebody releases it all at once?
Love, love, love daylight savings. Gives me more sunshine to rain hate on the leftists who operate in the dark.
