Topic tags/keywords: question I personally see no logical reason for Daylight Savings Time. How does it benefit the masses? All I see is twice a year we change our time pieces then go about our daily lives. Changing the time did not affect me in any way. I vote to abolish it! -- Bill - If I knew GRANDKIDS were so much fun I would have had them first. |

I’m sure you know that the time changes were started because of all of the kids waiting at rural bus stops for their trip to school. The idea was that they wouldn’t have to wait in the dark. That isn’t much of an issue anymore, but traditions die hard. – lol Since I’m an early riser, I would prefer DST year round. I really dislike Dec. and Jan. when it’s dark at 5:30 pm. -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |

Tomorrow the sun rises at 7:25 am and sets at 7:12 pm. If we did not have DST then the sun would rise at 6:25 am and set at 6:12 pm. Hmmm…. same amount of sunlight either way. -- Bill - If I knew GRANDKIDS were so much fun I would have had them first. |
