I know some like it and some don't. So I'll just ask, What will you do with more daylight in the evening?

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!

More walks on the boardwalk at the beach.

Since I never go out when it's dark, I like the extra daylight in the evening to go to restaurants.  I don't mind it being dark in the morning.  And if we have standard time all year round, which is the direction we're heading in, it will be light here at 4:30 AM in the summer--UGH!!!

The extra daylight just gives us here in Texas extra time for triple digit temp.'s.  I will be inside with the AC running doing nothing.

Play more golf!

I no longer drive at night so I can dash out for food or something later.  I can sit on my covered patio and enjoy my view of the mountains.

Probably for the first time since I was a kid, I will actually welcome more daylight hours. For some reason, the darkness this winter has been a challenge for me. I won't, however, welcome the added hours of extra heat, but around here, it doesn't always cool down that much at night anyway. All that said, either keep it or get rid of it, but the twice yearly time change needs to go.

First of all, @Kalli, thank you for properly identifying it as Daylight Saving Time.  Yes, some say it's acceptable to say Savings, but IMO that's happened to accommodate an error.  But I digress.

With extra daylight in the evenings, we can take walks later, enjoy patio time, stay out a little longer if we want to.

Hate DST for multiple reasons. Guess it might depend on location for many. When you live where it's hotter than, well you know what, earlier nightfall, is a welcome relief.

Doesn't affect me. Arizona doesn't participate. The last thing we need is another hour of sunshine. I like that programs are on a hour earlier though.
