Alaska’s the only state that should be worrying about when the sun is or isn’t up.

I have heard that Hawaii does not participate either — apparently they have enough sunshine without it, thank you.

DST year round, please. WTF do you need sunshine in the early AM for? Sunday was a bigger holiday for me than New Year’s or Easter (which, admittedly, isn’t saying much). I am *thrilled* to be typing this comment in the daylight.

The only state without DST is Arizona.* And, well, I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

*A few counties in Indiana don’t count. Apparently they’ve got nothing better to do than worry about the time all year.

Mouse, I feel the same way about our gasoline consumption. If everyone else stopped using so much fuel, I’d totally be able to afford filling up my tank three times a week!

If all these people would just stay off my roads, there wouldn’t be a traffic problem.

It’s all about you, right? How dare you want to fix traffic first

As far as the opt out thing goes, I don’t really like legislating peer pressure but this really is one of those cases where “everybody else is doing it” really is the best reason you need to go with the flow. Scheduling a meeting in Montgomery County MD if I lived in Arlington would suck more than it already does–stupid beltway traffic. Let’s legislate fixing that first.

Since “Daylight Saving Time” is not longer than “Standard Time,” should they not be renamed “Standard Time” and “Daylight Wasting Time”?

SW – my neighborhood is like that. Guess you have to get out of suburbia to have neighbors like this

I forgot but being under a couple feet of snow, it was not like we were going anywhere today. I did, however, dig out my driveway with the help of my neighbors. Seems like a lot of folks are helping each other out. Some with shovels, some with snow blowers.

It is nice to live in a neighborhood where people actually talk to each other. My neighborhood in VA Beach sort of kept to itself.

It is good to be back in the Midwest
