Another thing I think should be left alone. Leave it one way or the other.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Man, I used to HATE Fall Back when I worked midnights. My ten hour shift became an eleven hour shift. WE got paid for the extra hour, but ten hour midnight shifts were LONG enough. :(

whenever I hear a discussion about daylight savings time, I can't help but think back to the old joke about cutting a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it onto the bottom, and thinking you have a longer blanket .... my preference has long been and remains that I'd be happy if the moved standard time forward an hour and then leave it along

When living near San Diego the clock changes were annoying and unnecessary. After moving back here to NW Oregon, I like the clock changes. To me the changes make more sense the farther north one lives.

It may be changing (or rather not changing). Quite a few states have proposed making DST permanent. Making it permanent requires Congressional approval, staying on standard time year around doesn't.
