Default Daylight saving time !

Well this is the last weekend for that. Now it will be dark here in Mn at 4:30 pm. Now I'll have to wait till march 11 2012 for the days to start getting longer again. But I'm not upset about it. Cause I'm one the few that will be in the valley of the Sun till May. And it's Sunny every day on Phoenix. But I still hate the long nights. ..What a bummer !

Good. I'm tired of it being sooo dark when I wake up.

I enjoy Standard Time. By the time I get out of work it's already dark anyway, so I might as well have a better morning.

Now me! I love it during the summer months. if you works day shift. You still have time to sit out and enjoy life. Have a BBQ & a cold brew . Also gives time for the kids to play outside gets them curtain crawler out from under . By 9:30 pm its time to get ready for the next day anyways. Mike You need to change jobs if your working that late. Or start eaelier. I love it!

YOUR RIGHT Mike: But with daylight saving time it's light out when you get off of work. And during the summer its great cause it doesn't get dark till around 9:30 pm & its light out at 5:30 am plenty of day light hrs to work or play. I'd rather have the Sun in the evening hrs after work. But it doesn't matter now. Cause by 4:30 here in the midwest. It will be getting dark for over 14 hrs. I'm not a bat of vampire. So I like my day light. But I guess its not for everyone
