I had rather stay on regular time all year, I work by daylight and not the clock. If I need to be somewhere early I'll just set the alarm for whatever time I need to get up. Old Indian saying about daylight savings time: "only white man can cut 2 foot off the top of a blanket, sew it on the bottom and think he has a longer blanket."

I agree with the Indians... just leave it one way or the other and let the schools and or industry or whoever wants to "save time" change their clocks.

AMEN Hubert!!
Seems now that there is a real uproar about it since there have been 3 BAD school bus accidents and where some students were standing in the dark and waiting for the but when someone drove their pickup into them. All 3 were killed....
Yep, just get rid of it ALTOGETHER!!!

Yes, set the time and leave it alone. There ended up being 5 school bus accidents all together, I can't blame that on time, I think it's stupidity that causes them accident, to many things in the car to play with and not paying attention to what your supposed to be doing.

17+ pedestrians struck in Toronto... course they WERE 'jaywalking', but still it's not THEIR fault.... Interestly, the day we change the clocks has been changed 3 times since mid80s...

Where I live DST is a good fit and would be good all year. Not the same everywhere though. I was near Canadian border in N Dakota several years ago about the middle of June. It was going on 10pm and wasn't quite dark yet!I couldn't believe that!

I'd rather it was light out early... Morning is my best time. When it's dark in the AM, I tend to sit around and drink entirely TOO much coffee....

yes sir. That's why they say that it takes a real man to spend a cold winter night with an Eskimo woman. Because the winter night lasts six months. Darrel

Well Ted. I'm thinking that I probably did. Think an Eskimo woman loses her life and a grizzly bear gets made love to. ..? Darrel

Well I got to thinking Tom and if I change a few words in it, I can say it on here.....so here goes.....
There was this guy who wanted to be a part of the Allis-Chalmer club in Alaska.
They told him he could join up if he wanted, but there were a few things he had to do first......
1. He had to have or buy and A-C tractor.
2. He had to make love to an Eskimo woman
and
3. He had to wrestle a grizzly bear and wear it all out.
Well he says, that number 1 is easy, I already have 8 Allis tractors.
I'll have to think about them other two.......
A week goes by and he comes back to the club meeting and he's all cut up and has a patch over one eye and all wrapped up in bandages and stitches showing. He says, "I made love to that grizzly bear, now where's that Eskimo woman I have to wrassle with"....
