It's only one hour, Philip. I'd gladly give that extra hour of sleep up for the days being lighter one hour later ;)

This year is the first year in 9 years that I've had to change my clock. :\'(
In 1996 I moved to South Bend Indiana, which does not change its clocks. I MUCH prefer it too. And contrary to what people may think, the cows still give milk, the farms still yield, business works fine, and the unemployment rate is actually one of the lowest in the USA. From personal experience, I see the whole time-change thing as a crock. ::)
Now I'm back in pennsylvania and have to go through this whole medieval procedure again. >:(

I have no problem getting rid of it either...as long as they kept it as it is right now! I HATE when it gets dark early :P

I like the extra hour of daylight, but the time change always throws me off for about a week or so.

I believe they have Daylight savings in British Columbia,which we visited twice,and this resulted in it being light until 10 pm,I believe.

Love the extra hour of light but hate the loss of an hour of sleep. I have to be to church at 7:30. Waaaay to early when you take into account the change.;

Given the 6 months of lighter/longer days...I gladly give up that hour, Dagny :)

Ahh, the good old Spring Forward/Fall Back thing. Takes a while to get used to it getting dark at 6:30 rather than 7:30 (We changed our clocks back last week)

I like that. But the only clocks of mine that change automatically are the one in the computer, and the one on my cell phone. Also, the one on our cable box. All of the other clocks need to be changed manually...which I did yesterday.

I can't stand this time change. It totally throws me off. I need to go back to Arizona where there is no time change.

I like the long days too, but even without moving the clocks the days become long after a few weeks.

I say keep it at summer times zone (1 hour forward). I'd rather it get light at 9am and dark at 6pm than it get light at 8am and dark at 5pm. 5pm just seems way too early to get dark :o

It's kinda hard to get used but what I do enjoy is that I can keep my sunglasses on up until 8pm when the sun goes down.
Then in October,we change it right back.
