Seems interesting, it is a pain, but I love the extra daylight in the summer.

Personally I don't mind it. I function better when it's light out so it makes sense. Love the extra hours to do stuff during DST.

Sorry, but yall are full of shit.  There are no "extra hours" or "extra daylight".  Fer heaven's sake, the sunrise and sunset times dont change by an hour one night each spring and fall!!!  Angry  This petition aint about the time, its about the TIME CHANGE every spring and fall!

Nope the sunrise times don't, but they do fit my non work hours better on DST.

My preference would be to stay on DST all year.  Or maybe split the difference, but that will never happen.

I just want the change every spring and fall to end.  It is REALLY disruptive to me. 
 
And I apologize for my rant to Highspeed and Doc Savage.  Yes, it was the time change, that's my excuse anyway.

As they say, it's 5:00 somewhere.
 
I like having more daylight left after I get away from the windowless work place.  Until recently I was able to come in at the time of my choosing which let me leave pretty much as early as I wanted to.  Now I can't come in before 6:00 AM which does put a dent in my afternoon daylight.
 
With that said, I'd rather they just left the clocks alone.  At least then my truck's clock would be correct all year instead of just six months out of the year.

I wouldn't mind not messing with the clocks, guess the alternative is just change business hours and keep the clocks the same Smile would still lose the hour of sleep though Tongue

This is simply the best written obituary EVER.
A funny read.  Sad about the Hildabeast part but beyond that....

It does relate to this thread.  Just read it.
