Really wish they would leave DST year round. It's depressing when the sun starts setting before 5 PM, I don't know how people further north handle it.

LOL well that just makes to much sense to let it happen.

go to work in the dark and come home in the dark .goodtimes... not
I welcome this as my commute to and from work puts the sun directly in my eyes for major stretches; When I say "directly" I'm indicating nothing short of a welding helmet works.... the sun is "on the road"

I have that problem too.

Our brothers in Saskatchewan do not change time. Cows don't wear wristwatches. When it's time for miking, it's time for milking.

Lets go back to the old days before Rail Road time, when all time was local
Florida already passed a full time DST proposition and it's waiting on approval from Congress. California votes on permanent DST on Tuesday...actually, repealing the 1949 law so they can move to full-time DST. I would expect that it would take the form of full time, permanent DST when other states vote on this idea as that seems to be the popular choice if they're going to change it.

I guess people are actually following the advice to change your clock - change the batteries in your smoke detector.

Down here we have a little more sunlight during the day. I agree it feels strange to have darkness at 6 PM.

How about just doing away with the medieval torture device that is Daylight Savings Time altogether, and just using Standard Time? Works well for Hawaii.
Now if we could just leave it here and not change it again in the spring BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER NEEDED, that would be great.

Move to Arizona. They don't change their clocks.

As good a reason as any to move. I'll pack tonite.

If they are going to leave it on one of them, leave it on DST not standard time like it is now, as it's super annoying to have it get dark at 5pm in the winter. And in the summertime it's nice that it's still light outside past 9pm, it would suck to have the sun setting closer to 8pm instead. In the summer during DST it already starts getting light out at 5am, would you really want it to start getting light out at 4am instead? That's wasted sunshine IMO.

We are on DST year round (works out to Central Standard Time) and people still find a way to complain. Make everyone use UTC, make it really easy.
I lived in Cranbrook and Golden, BC where the town is on MST and the railway is on PST.
