    I voted no. I did like the fact that the sun didn't go down until after 7PM today!:thumbs: Later night fall will be real nice for getting firewood and lots of other outside work done.

    Me too!
    But we typically get up hours before sunrise, so it doesn't matter to me. I'm guessing the late risers enjoy DST more than the early risers.

    I like DST. it was created to save energy. (back then it was to prevent burning all your candle wax for light) I'm all about saving a buck.

    I don't mind this time, but I have a hard time in the winter when it gets dark so early. I think they should leave the clocks set where they are now year-round.

    As stated, many would like this but I highly doubt that could be done and that is why it was not included in the vote.

    We've had very close to that a couple times. Of course when we lived near Escanaba we were almost on the line. Then the 2 years we spent in Indiana the line was very close but did not bother us as we usually did not go in that direction. However when we lived near Escanaba we went across the line a couple times per week. It worked out okay though.
