Daylight Savings Time

**Idaho** · 03-05-2008, 10:09 PM

This comes very early from now on thanks to an act of Congress, this very weekend in fact. So, I was wondering what you all think of the idea. Good, Bad, indiferent.

Personally, I rather enjoy the extra time at the end of the day. More time to ride.

Gona need to get up in the dark again, not all that great, was just get used to waking up to some light.

I love it. That extra hour of light at the end of the day is great. Didn't realize it was this weekend. Kind of interesting if you think about it, the we, mankind, can manipulate just about anyhing we want to as if nature's laws don't matter...hmmm.

Arizona doesn't mess with their clocks. I think its a good idea.

Normally I don't care, this weekend I switch shifts back to days after 6 months of afternoons. I think it will be tough to get up at 5:30am for the first few days.

I like having the extra hour of light at the end of the day.

socwkbiker · 03-06-2008, 09:34 AM

The extra light is nice, but it's been proven to not be necessary anymore. Besides, I need that extra hour of sleep.

I wish they would just make DST the norm and leave it at that.But then again, I wish the weather in eastern Nebraska was like San Diego's too.

I love it...extra daylight at the end of the day!

We don't change in AZ

beezer · 03-07-2008, 03:42 PM

I prefer it to be lighter longer so I stay awake longer.

Scoot · 03-08-2008, 02:32 AM

Another reason to like it.....when I get off work on day shift I still got time to go play 18 holes

I think it's great. First few days are a little difficult in the morning, but after that it's nice to have the light later in the day. What's with Arizona? No DST?
