^^ So true!

I will miss it....having an extra hour after work to do stuff is great.

When I was a kid I always looked at it as gain an hour to do homework in the Fall, loose an hour to do homework in the Spring.

It’s criminal

I don't care whether we stay on DST all year or not. But, the time needs to stop changing twice a year.

Amen.

I love the extra hour of daylight. I hate leaving work, and it's already dark, then driving home with dark-driving challenged fools.

Honestly, since I'm caring for my wife the time changing doesn't really affect me at all. I used to do a LOT of stuff before she got sick but now it's just another day inside watching tv and doing odd jobs INSIDE the house, you know, regular housekeeping duties.

If we don't want to keep the US on the bi-annual time switch, split the difference and move to :30 in between. Moving to permanent DST means kids are getting on buses in the dark. That's no bueno.

Buses? I used to walk a mile to my school when I was a kid in Baltimore, alone. Of course it was on an army base, so...

Most people just want it to stop changing and don't care where they leave it.

Are they afraid of the dark? Don't the buses stop at their driveways? And if so many kids ride the bus, why do I see a line of cars half a mile long at our local elementary school waiting every freaking day to pick up their precious little rugrats? Make the little heathens walk home. Spoiled kids...
