Can not STAND it.

Re: Who Hates Daylight Savings Time?


Up here it wouldn't make a difference either way. It's dark when I go to work and dark when I get home. I guess daylight savings time allows us sunshine until 5:00 pm as opposed to 4:00 pm in the winter. For me it makes no difference. I had no idea it would affect you guys more southern. Kinda funny, had my cousins from Fort Wayne who were up here in July (last year) and they couldn't believe we had sunshine til 11:00 pm. I've been up North in Manitoba and in the summer it's sunlight basically all the time. Depends where you live, obviously!!!

I found this http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/

I live in the south so it makes about as much sense as 1.6 toilets and 12 GPM shower systems to save water.

Fantastic link, Teetorbilt. Whether you find DST an irritation or not, it works to save valuable energy resources, which helps deal with one of the biggest struggles this country faces right now - fossil fuel costs and eventual shortages.
