I’m a night person but that’s a little too early!!

I like the dark early mornings.
Back in June/July or so the sun was coming up at 4:30 am.

Even farmers do not need it any more.

I remember during the energy crisis we gad year around DST for a few years. Seemed to work just fine.

Let’s just get rid of it. It may be the VERY LAST truly bipartisan issue in our country’s history.

You are correct. This time shifting is stupid and annoying.

Germany and Austria took time by the forelock, and began saving daylight at 11:00 p.m. on April 30, 1916

"Hey Hans, I've got a great idea! Let's move the clocks an hour twice a year, then the enemy won't know what time our attacks will really happen!" And another social welfare moment is born!

Good. Keep it on Standard (real) Time.

If you want to play golf before sunset, get up earlier.

Another thought, Time change is happening ONLY 48 HOURS before ELECTION DAY!!! How many petitions for extended polling hours will that cause or support? Remember the maxim, the Judge is usually a stooge!

Forelock-grabbing is a lost art.

Adding or subtracting an hour has to have an impact on global warming.

This is the worst time of the year for me.

Pretty leaves of red and orange?

Phooey! They have to be raked.

Hot cocoa in front of a roaring fire?

Phooey! That firewood has to be cut and split.

Autumn leads to winter, which is as miserable as the season preceding it. Fire up the snowblower. Freeze my a$$ off. Scrape the windshield and drive through all that slush and salt.

The only upside is looking forward to spring which, at my age, always seems a long way off, and I hope I make it.

GET ME OUT OF THE NORTHEAST!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!

I think it’s great to have more daylight at the end of the work day to engage in outdoor activities.

It’s Daylight Saving Time. There is no “S” at the end of Saving.
