Daylight savings time should be from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Starting this early is ridiculous.

Why don’t they just leave it at Daylight Savings Time all year ‘round and forget about it ?!?!

I heard it has something to do with the kiddies and going to school in the dark in the morning. ((shrug))

I always change my clocks on Friday when we spring ahead to help me ease into it. Silly, I know, but it helps.

one less hour for Obama. At this point I’ll take what I can get.

If the nation made it through Carter and Clinton, we’ll make it past this.

Now I know what some of my liberal or democrat friends must have felt like when Bush was President.

Anyway, happy daylight savings time

I always do it well before i go to sleep on Saturday. Today I changed 'em at about 3:30. Only my cable box and PC have the actual time on it now.

Too dark in the mornings in my town. Sunrise is at 8:01 AM tomorrow. A compromise: Let's set the clocks ahead by half an hour and then never change again.

Perhaps but there was no fear for the survival of the nation under GWB. Their fear and angst was unfounded.

“Change the batteries in your smoke and CO detectors too.”

Also, install summer air in all automobile tires.

True. Sunrise tomorrow is at 8:00 AM tomorrow where I am. My son gets on the bus at 6:20. I hate this. Let's compromise by moving a half hour forward, and then leaving it alone for good.

I’m surprised algore hasn’t put a stop to daylight savings time. Can you imagine the harm to global warming the extra hour sunlight per day is causing?
