I just built a new house, and can not believe how much my vertical blinds have faded since daylight saving.

I wake up at 6am every day, and the damage done by the sun is incredible. This has to stop.

The cows down at Harvey aren't producing as much milk as they should be and the whole world is almost ready to fall down a big hole.

</sarcasm>

Bring it on! I looooooooove daylight saving!

at least your kids go to bed on time. I dont have any but when i look after my nephew and niece its a nightmare to get them to bed when its still daylight outside lol
Yep, they sure do. Good ol' discipline. Clock says 7pm, off to bed. No arguments. Then it's my chill time :)

I think its good and bad.

its good when its summer as yeah we have an extra hour of helitacks. :)
but yeah bad as the sun goes down and ya get back on station and you think its about 8ish and its like 10 (i dont know how it works like that but yeah it happens to me lol)

its also bad at Christmas, as yeah i love my Christmas lights, but yeah it gets dark at about 9pm now, when all the kids are in bed, or i am in bed for work :( also trying to get to bed when its still light is crazy. and yeah driving to work when its dark. far out the traffic is bad enough in the morning when its light, then again when its dark. :(:(:(

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those who do not.
