I've never figured out the rationale of DST, period. Now when I get to work at 730 in the morning, it's necessary for me to turn the lights on; prior to early March it was light enough to work by window light which I prefer. This actually makes me use more electricity.

If you are one of these strange people who enjoys getting up in the morning, find a job with flextime, or find a job which starts earlier.

They tried the year-round thing once. The parents of schoolkids didn't like it. I do remember going to school in the dark that year, and wondering (with the recollection of a child) if that were 'normal.' "Is it always dark when I go to school in the winter?"

Of course, some people use that semiannual change as a way to remember other things they have to do, such as rotating their mattresses and updating their earthquake kits.

Screw daylight savings time. Just keep the clock the same one way or the other.

I get up a 4:30 am, walk and garden before work and school so I want it light in the morning.
And thus it continues, as great a clash as good vs evil: morning-glories vs night-owls

I am SO with you on DST year round. Then, we can just call it "time"
