I like DLST, I get more done, and its kinda nice to be light in the morning when I get up in the fall.

I get off from school at 230 most days, so I still have a few hours to break stuff on my truck.

 

So, DLST is the time from spring to fall, right? If it is, then I like the DSLT much better than the fall to spring time. DSLT should be the standard time that we have year-round. It makes so much more sense for it to be light when you get home from school or work so you can do yard work or just spend time outside (it is a nice change after having to be locked up at school or work all day). It makes no sense for it to be light in the morning. Once we go off DLST, we buy about two weeks in which it is lighter in the morning when I leave, and then it is right back to being dark, but yet we have given up a whole hour of light in the evening. People don't usually use the extra sunlight in the morning- regardless of how light it is outside, they are going to wake up at a set time and leave for work or school where some sort of light is provided. The only thing going off DLST does is make it light when you are at work (where you can't use the light), and dark when you are at home (When you need the light) Plus, I live in SW Michigan and all the good stores and junkyards are in Indiana. Indiana does not use DLST. So, half of the year we are on the same time and half we aren't- it is extremely obnoxious when I go down there and forget about the time change.
I don't understand why we have to have a time change. Why was it invented in the first place? Why couldn't we just switch the time by and hour year-round? Since I have experienced the nice long summer evenings during DLST, I have decided that I like that time frame better. Why do we need to switch back in the fall???????? Who does it benefit????

 

hey, sometimes you gain an hour of sleep and sometimes you lose it. woodeewoo

 

I hate comming home when it's pitch black at 5 o'clock

 

If we switched, would it end up costing the country more money or less, spent on such things as more heating oil, more electric, more/less car accidents, etc.

 

in iowa at its peak it is dark at 4:30 and it sucks.

 

Anyone remember when we went to DST year round?
