Daylight Saving Time Reminder!!! Losing an Hour Tonight!!!

[Kestra]

Here I can be pleasant at least half the year.

Well I wouldn't go that far...

Say Alidar, have you seen a certain pic I posted in the picture thread in the other forum? I'd be happy to direct you towards it.

What's the big issue with that? Most of the winter, it's dark going to work/school and it's dark going home. We cope just fine.

I don't cope. I actually go insane and start killing people.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind having DST all year round, but that would mean some people would be driving to work in the dark during the winter. And schoolchildren would be walking or taking the bus to school in the dark.

Depends on the latitude.

So unsympathetic.

You could always move to Arizona

I'd rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona.

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina... in the mo-o-orning!

This is what I remember the reason being:

When year-round daylight time was tried in 1973, one reason it was repealed was because of an increased number of school bus accidents in the morning.

Damn, you Scott Walker! I woke up this morning and had no internetz, cable tvs, or cellular phones. All because you made us set our clocks back 50 years!

 

[Starbreaker]

Ugh... I'm tired. I'm moving to Arizona.

Anyway, I ended up sleeping until 1 in the afternoon, so this daylight savings time did not affect me.
