Read an article yesterday saying 9 states are considering staying on standard time like Hawaii and Arizona do, and eliminating Daylight Savings Time. It must be determined state by state. I would love to stay on the same time hear-round. I hate when it is dark at 6 pm..makes me ready to go to bed! Guess my internal clock gets thrown off and it does take me a week or so to acclimate to it....would you like to see DST be done away with? Is your state one that is considering it? The article I read did not list the names of the states.

Pick a time and stick with it. The twice yearly change is disruptive and idiotic.

I think its original purpose was to help farmers have more daylight to work the fields and harvest crops....so it has outlived its purpose.

Actually, not to pick nits, but, it's Daylight Saving Time.

 

 

There is no "S" on Saving.

 

 

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

It doesn't bother me at all.  There are too many other situations which cause me stress. Daylight Savings Time is way down on that list!

Its actually a little more complicated. We in California voted for it during our last election, or perhaps it was the one before that, but it also has to approve at a congressional level as well. 

 

I voted for it. I hate the back and forth.

There is an "S" on Saving, at the beginning of it. 🙄
