Anything I want. I love DST.

It doesn't matter to me, I just love more daylight, morning or night!

Next Friday, early am, lunar eclipes.  Check "time and date" website for times in your area if interested.

Honestly, it doesn't change anything I do, and I wish they'd stop doing it.  

Having to change all my watches and some clocks AGAIN is the annoying result.

for me it is nothing but wasted time resetting clocks

In the past I've always enjoyed riding later. In the summer it's cooler and more comfortable heading out in the evening. Less sweating and sticking to the saddle, and no more dismounting only to feel like my jeans are soaking wet!

Actually DST has nothing to do with more daylight in the evening.  The position of the sun causes that during certain times of the year....

I like the longer lighter days.  I stay outside longer gardening, swimming, boating, camping and just going out...I am not comfortable driving in the dark.

Speing, summer and fall are my favorite times of the year, especially summer.

I will be able to take a walk later and not have to rush to get one in before dark.

Don't like DST and am already lookig forward to when we go back to standard time in November.  For me, it's just longer hours of heat and being miserable in it.

I love DST. I work from 8 to 5, and it usually takes me 1 1/2 hours to get home. With DST, when I arrive in my area, I can still run at least one errand, if needed, instead of waiting until Saturday to spend half the day of my weekend doing different errands. 

Also, when I arrive home and it's still light outside, I can do things around the house. When it's pitch black outside, all I want to do is lounge in my recliner because it seems so late.

Since the actual span of daylight is not affected by a clock change, I don't care.  One of the beauties of retirement.  I do remember leaving work and it was dark.  Still walked every night with the dogs, but not fun.

What (DST) does is it shifts the clock forward by one hour, effectively moving daylight from the morning (when temperatures are cooler) to the evening ( when temperatures are still warm from the heat of the day)
