    Looking forward to the "extra" hour of sleep.
    I think it should be kept on the standard (correct) time always and forget all about daylight savings time. ;)

    I like the daylight savings time. Mostly because I always tend to not get up until after 8Am and I hate it being dark at 4 PM. When I was working, it was go to work and come home in the dark. yuk!

    Now wait a minute there Jack, gettin' a little carried away is one thing, but that's getting downright scary.
    DST does make it easier to remember though.

    I like it getting dark later in the summer but when I was working, it was kind of hard going to sleep at 8 or 9 o'clock and it's still light outside

    I had to laugh when one website took a poll on if folks thought that DST was good or necessary. For the most part it appeared around 80% or more thought it sucked. Yet, our politicians still think it is great. Here in MI we voted against it more than once but could not make it stick. Politicians thought they knew what the people wanted more than the people thought... We have to remind ourselves occasionally that they are supposed to represent us...
