Just think of the impact this extra hour all these years has had on global warming. We ought to ban it.

If I go to work, will I get paid for that lost hour? : )

Thank you for the reminder. I try to always do it during the day so I can get used to it. Just did all my clocks...except the auto ones.

Da yam

I wish they would set it and forget it.

This new 4 month DST is ridiculous.

No way. Not until I find out what's been happening to all the daylight we've been saving all these years. Where's my daylight, dang it?!??

I blame capitalism. The gummint owes me a check.

Good. All the clocks I never changed last fall are now going to be correct.

Crap. I hardly slept at all last night. Oh well, at least there will be more sunshine later.

Yeah, picking-up dogpoop in the dark sucks. Stepping in it’s even worse!

Ever wonder why it is called “daylight savings time”? It doesn’t save either daylight or time.

I work a night job (M-F) starting at 6 pm. Right around this time of yr, I drive toward work just about due west most of the time and the sun is pretty brutal (even with the visor).
Not after tonight, though.

I'll miss the extra hour of sleep. There are always a few stragglers coming in a bit bleary eyed at church when this transition occurs.

As I doff my propeller beanie cap and go into 100% nerd mode, the correct term is "daylight saving time" without an 's'. This tidbit is presented in the interest of pedants everywhere. :-)

Never could understand why we have to wait until 2am to change the clocks? Seem to me the government would make the switchover earlier on Saturday night, maybe 10pm, my normal bedtime. I find it so difficult changing the clock at 2am. I am so tired at that time. No wonder so many people are late for church! Yawwwnnnnnnnn!

I've never been a fan. The time should be the time!

We live in a world where even a "birth certificate" doesn't necessarily reflect the reality that existed on that date so, of course, why should the time be the time?
