I'm on Central Standard Time here in Chicago folks. I hate it how it gets dark like at 4:30 already, and will continue to darken until December 21st. It's brutal, I tell ya'.

My personal feeling is that when the clocks change again in the spring, they should fall back again, not spring ahead, so I have don't have sunsets until 8:45-9ish. However, come the autumn then, they should move ahead, and then my nights wouldn't darken until like 5-5:30ish.

Anyone agree?

No. It would be devastating to the global economy. The Savings time is fine the way it is. If we change it, than alot of things will go wrong. The banking system for one.

Really, Draco?

Ahhhh clock thing screws me up....They should change the little fall behind and spring ahead names....

OH and I don't like the dark at 5PM.

I know, Deb. Doesn't that....(sniff, sniff) stink?

Hey, someone else who lives in Chicago!

I HATE how early it gets dark in the winter

There are many places, btw, where they don't use DST.

Like Texas

So you feel mine and Deb's pain, huh Lana?

Yep....as if the weather's not bad enough here in the winter, it gets dark mid-afternoon. I can't stand it.

I love when it gets dark early. It's so awesome when you wake up and it's already getting dark out.

Plech!
