I thought that when I was a school kid, but not anymore, Ken. Us old
guys go to bed early, doncha know.

If we *really* believed that it's a good thing to do for that
reason, we would have one hour of DST in the summer, and *two* hours
in the winter. We have shorter days in the winter, and that's when
we need more daily savings time.

I already have to go to work in the dark in the winter.


I'm retired now, but when I worked, I went to work in the dark and left
work in the dark for a good part of the winter. For several years, I worked
in an office without a window, and I drove to work in the dark, parked in
the garage in the building, walked to my windowless office, then left and
drove home again in the dark. It was a neighborhood in which it wasn't safe
to walk in the streets, so I didn't even go out for lunch, but had it
brought in. For much of the winter I saw daylight only on weekends.

You can't fix it on both ends, but I'd at least like to have some winter
daylight in the evenings.


No matter
what they do, I'll probably still be in the dark. ;-)


LOL! Nah, I don't believe that for a minute.

I think Daylight Saving Time is dumb. But some claim that it saves
energy.

Joan, this 'animal' is always upset with the change. Although at my age,
animal only mean "mammal."

To comment on your statement: "...originally started to help the farmers
during World War 2..." I grew up on a farm in central Illinois. Farmers in
that region (and to this day) refused to change the clocks. They stayed on
"God's Time." ???

I didn't get that message either on the 2 XP machines here but it did
show on the WinME machine, so I assume it's one of the things XP
doesn't show g

lol You and me both Chuck, and your other comments about the farmers I
don't blame them, it must get very confusing for the animals especially
cows and the times for milking g

Like you Ken I'm retired now so doesn't make any difference to me but my
last job before retirement meant walking down to work (which was about 10
minutes walk away from home) at just after 5.30 in the morning and it was
not nice especially if it was cold and raining or snowing and in the dark

Maybe *they* could figure out how to do away with Winter. Nah...

Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons anyway. Speaking of Spring, I saw
some flowers that were blooming already early last week. I don't know what
kind of flowers they were but they were yellow and not tulips.
