I didn't realize that DST kicked in this weekend until like this past Monday. You know how I learned about it? In my dayplanner...my fucking dayplanner led me down the path to righteousness! How about that?!

DST is the work of the devil.

The devil makes some hot chicks and hot cars, though.

Well, at least we know he isn't American, then.

It's not upon us yet (in England).
I like it when it comes though. I like waking up in the dark. Which you gain temporarily.
But then I like Winter - how I hate it when the weathermen say, "It's not good news" meaning Winter weather (in Winter!) or, "It's getting better" meaning warmer.

I like my light at the end of the day. I'm more awake then. But I do suffer a little grief each year with the diminishing of the cold and the dark.

Personally, I'd like it better if we 'fell back' twice a year instead of once. That way we'd get two extra hours of sleep instead of one.

This plan may have other issues, but I can always use more sleep.

I liked the years when I was in high school and Nixon just abolished DST all together.

Um -- I was in high school that year too, and Nixon instituted it early, he didn't abolish it. I can remember starting for school in the South Dakota winter predawn. Daylight time has dramatic effects at that latitude, like June sunsets around 9 p.m.
