How are YOU doing today? :)

So if it wasn't for Daylight Savings Time, none of those afflictions would be affecting you?

sucks first week, then gets much better :)

i love having sun till 9 (middle of summer)

With this global warming, it is 100 degrees until 9 PM and the AC is going on like mad even at 9 PM. I wish they would do away with it too.

you don't need AC to live...If you are so concerned about Global warming try shutting the AC off.

Nope, this is the exact reason why Arizona rejects DST.

It may have made sense in the World wars, and even the 60s, before air conditioning was widespread. But the cost of cooling your home for one extra hour in the evenings FAR outweighs the energy benefits of not having to use yout lights as much.

Stupid, stupid idea.

You do realize that there are still 24 hours in a day right?


I was just as confused as to how the time on his clock effects (or affects, I never understood the difference) how much heat from the sun enters his home.
