Team COAR,

Sometime between when I went to bed at around midnight and waking up this mirning I seem to have misplaced an hour of time. I've heard a rumor that I might find that hour in Arizona, but I don't recall travelling there so I can't imagine I lelft it there. If we pool our COAR resources, I'm sure that missing hour will show up somewhere.

I hate Daylight Savings Time.

I'm the opposite, I love daylight savings time, I just wish we could leave it be all year.

Hard to tell on a Sunday but I bet I'll know Monday morning if someone stole an hour of my sleep.

Not a big fan of changing all the clocks in the house twice a year, seems fairly retarded to me.

But, at least it's ONE sign that warmer weather is on it's way here.

Springing ahead means an extra hour of daylightfor fishing so I love it. Falling back sucks and I see no point in it.

I like the Florida idea (year round DST) do not like the Arizona style at all (No DST ever). Morning people - the minority - probably love standard time, and there's a misconception that DST is in effect during the winter. But no, it's what lets it be light until 10PM in the middle of Summer, condensing your "non working" time into a part of the day when almost everyone is awake, and 9-5 office workers (or similar) can experience a good part of the warm afternoon summer sun even in the weekdays.

To go to Arizona time means you lose that, at the best in Summer, you'll get off of work and it'll start getting dark around 8:30-9:00PM.

I feel little need to go to standard time in the Winter.I'm a morning person (typically wake up at 4 or 5 on work days) who works 8-4 usually, and I love all the sunlight I can get after work, so I'd be good with the Florida idea.

DST really sucks for (some) IT when you have a management device that goes in/out DST and managed systems that interact with it that are geo dispersed and client won't let you run Zulu time on everything.

To make matters worse, I awoke to the sound of an obnoxious rotary winged thingy in my hood at 7:15AM (biological time). It lasted about 15-20 minutes off and on.

I couldn't see it. Didn't know if it was the Russians, flight for life, or an idiot recreational aviator.

I'm all for Daylight time year round. Sunset at 1630 in midwinter makes me a little batty.

Yup, when I was younger I liked Savings Time, nowadays, Standard Time fits my schedule so much better.

Oh well, have to get used to sleeping while the sun is shining in the evening now.

I think I may have found it. I didn't know who's it was so I used and slept for an extra hour this morning. Sorry. I should be able to save up enough to return it to you by some time in November.

DST is fine with me. I like the sun going down later. What I don't like is in the fall, when it goes back and then the damn sun is down at 4:30 pm. The sun should never be down that stinking early.

Now that's it's DST, leave it there and forget that going back to Standard time nonsense.

I would be happy if we all fall back 30 minutes in this fall and discontinue the practice of "saving time." No one gets what they want but we all get rid of the nuisance.

I like this. Split the difference and move one. Seems in a modern world, this is just a time waster.

Be glad you don't live in Indiana on the Central time side of the time zone line, but have a job on the Eastern time side of the time zone line. You talk about a mind boggler. Good luck managing that schedule.

Pick one and leave it the hell alone. At least they haven't been moving around the start/stop dates like they did for so many years. Probably cost businesses billions dealing with the changes that were implemented for reasons that long ago no longer applied.

Studies have also found an increase in fatalities following these time changes. If it only saves 1 life to get rid of this mess, isn't it worth it? [zombie1]

I work swings (often outside) so it'll be nice to have the extra hour of light.

Or, commute between Goodland and Colby Kansas.
What was wrong with the Kansas - Colorado border being the time zone change line?
