I like it, it gives me more time to get stuff done outside after work. Does anyone remember the year they didn't set the clocks back in the fall? I think it was around '73. It was supposed to save energy. Talk about miserable! It stayed pitch dark till around 9 AM. I was in high school at the time and I would look outside and it would still be dark. It was like going to night school.

I like DLST, however, I hate the change in the fall. I wish standard time would be the time we're in now and we'd spring ahead from here. I really don't care if the sun is up when I go to work, but I sure as heck would like it to be around when I get home.

I really like DST. Gives me more time to get things done after work and lets me sleep just a little longer on the weekends. I just wish they'd extend it one more month in the Fall. That would give me a chance to get some bowhunting in during the week. I get home too late on standard time.

It only bothers me for the first day or so. I always find myself wondering, "did I change that clock, or is it really an hour earlier/later?" It takes a few days for me to get accustomed to the new time.

It always takes me a week or so to get used to it. It is hard to go to bed when your body thinks its an hour earlier and even harder to get up an hour earlier. But I do like the extra lite in the evening. Why not just change it 30 minutes and leave it?

I don't care whether it is DST or regular, I just hate the change spring and fall. I think the change causes more trouble than it's worth.
