It amazes me how worked up people get about this. They say, "Oh, it's so difficult to adjust, and we have to do it twice a year."

Anyone who travels to a different time zone has to deal with the same thing, and it's usually more than a 1-hour difference, and they have very little time to adjust before returning home.

I like that it stays light until much later in the summer, and I like not waking up in the dark in the winter. I don't understand why people have such a problem with it.

The argument against it due to having to press a few buttons on a clock reveals how lazy they are.

Then that's their decision, which is not the same as forcing it on others under government dictate.

Depends upon how many clocks you have in your life.

“They say, “Oh, it’s so difficult to adjust, and we have to do it twice a year.””

Well, yes it does, in the Spring. Once, the first day was all right and I thought I was okay. The second day hit it me like a ton of bricks. On the way home I ran a stop sign onto a very busy highway. I came close to parking my car.

As for jet lag, that is your choice. Get over it.
