Love it when it gets dark at 8 instead of 5. As unbearable as our summers are, I still rather them than the drab winter.

As far as I'm concerned, they can make DST permanent and give us another hour in the summer.

Man, I should move to Arizona, as they don't observe DST. Yes, I am a night owl. I can't stand getting up early in the morning.

Darkness before 7PM is depressing. Darkness at 5:30 is insanity. I love when the sun is out until 8:30, makes me feel full of life. doo doo doo doo i say it's alright.

Indiana adopted DST in 2006.

Correction. Part of Indiana adopted DST in 2006. The civilized portion has observed DST since World War II despite repeated attempts by the slovenly buffoons of the rest of the state to legislate against it.

I prefer an early night myself usually...except those days I would like to sneak in an extra 9 holes.

 

[Joe OKC]

I prefer long days.... Extra time at home for things happening in the growing season....

I spend too much of my life in the dark... and I HATE dark... life happens outside...

Long live DST.... and 100 watt bulbs

We don't start DST for another 3 weeks.

Mid december the sun sets around 3:30 and rises around 8:40 in the morning

Basically I only see the sun through my office window

But in the summer the sun doesn't set until 10 PM in the evening
