OT: Is there any good reason to continue DST?
two weeks from Sunday we turn the clocks ahead an hour and lose an hours sleep...
I hate it.
Why do we continue this???
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
It is very annoying.
The worst was when they changed the dates. Had some old badge system at work that wouldn't recognize the change in dates or that I turned of the DST automatic change. So 4 times a year I had to dial in and manually fix the blasted thing.
I retired, I care as much as Vanguard cares for happenings in GB.
I would rather be on DST all the time, I hate driving into the sun in the morning and into it at night going home in the winter. lets just move it ahead and leave it there all year.
I dig it. In Colorado it always sort of represents the beginning of summer. More patio time, grilling, baseball...and of course...

no it is a foolish forced goverment program that has no value today.

I love DST. the transition kind of sucks, but I'd much prefer having the sun later in the evening rather than before I wake up.

Same here, I love summer nights where there’s daylight until after 10 pm. I guess we’re just rebels Medaille B)

Thats my theory for staying on it all year long. That little extra light in the winter is better after work than before IMO. I dont care about darkness in the morning, but in the evening it makes me lethargic early on a lot of nights.

One thing people that don't live in Colorado understand: it receives a ton of sunshine a year. Like over 300 days of sunshine.
