daylight savings are wrong...

i am glad you said when i was 4.
Happy 5th bday by the way.

move to arizona, we dont do that shit.

Blame it on Benji - Benjamin Franklin, that is.

There's a lot of valid reasons for it but I could care less. Sucks in the spring - it's nice in the fall. I need my beauty sleep and that extra hour does wonders

Other way around...when I come home from work, I want to throw the football, run with the dog, watch the girls walk home from class.... That hour of light is important to me!

This whole changing the clock thing is retarded anyways. There's no need for it and it's annoying.

to save electric

how does it save electric?

you take more advantage from daylight

Daylight saving time did indeed begin in the United States during World War I, primarily to save fuel by reducing the need to use artificial lighting. Although some states and communities observed daylight saving time between the wars, it was not observed nationally again until World War II.

Yeah

I miss Arizona.

What really sucks is that we lose an hour this weekend and the bars still close at 2 am, but isn't it now 1 am? Never made sense to me.

Daylight Saving Time has been used in the United States and in many European countries since World War I.

During World War I, in an effort to conserve fuel needed to produce electric power, Germany and Austria took time by the forelock, and began saving daylight at 11 p.m. on the 30th of April, 1916, by advancing the hands of the clock one hour until the following October. This 1916 action was immediately followed by other countries in Europe, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey, as were Tasmania, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba. Britian began 3 weeks later, on 21 May 1916. In 1917, Australia, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia initiated it.

The plan was not formally adopted in the United States until 1918. 'An Act to preserve daylight and provide standard time for the United States' was enacted on March 19, 1918. [See law] It both established standard time zones and set summer DST to begin on 31 March 31 1918. It placed the country on Daylight Saving Time for the remainder of WW I, and was observed for seven months in 1918 and 1919. The law, however, proved so unpopular (mostly because people rose earlier and went to bed earlier than we do today) that the law was later repealed in 1919 over President Wilson's veto. It became a local option, and was continued in a few states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island) and some cities (New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and others).

it's simple - life sucks...

i gotta agree about wanting extra time at night...it sucks when it's dark at 6pm
