I'm Telling You For The Last Time

Published November 3, 2007 @ 16:43 in My 2 Cents

clockIt's that time, folks. It's time for my annual rant against the move from Daylight Saving Time. Before we go to sleep tonight, we'll all move our clocks back an hour to Standard Time. It's dumb.

Anticipating my annual rant, Ajax Mike has sent me a little ammo.

One more bit of ammo for you in your fight for year-round Daylight Savings Time: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/03/time.change.ap/index.html

"The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety of Arlington, Virginaia, in earlier studies found the switch from daylight saving time to standard time increased pedestrian deaths. Going to a year-round daylight saving time would save about 200 deaths a year, the institute calculated, said spokesman Russ Rader."

It's official, Standard Time kills!!! :)

I want my hour of sunlight in the evening, not in the morning. Let's skip this year's fall back.

I also just noticed that CNN (or AP, or whoever) misspelt "Virginia" in that quote. :)

I agree, I get up at 5:30 most mornings anyway so I am up when its dark in the morning most of the year.
Id rather have a chance at getting home after work and seeing the sun for more of the year.
Its depressing enough to leave for work in the dark and to come home in the dark...at least the sun would stay up till at least 6 pm all year.

I couldn't agree more. It simply doesn't matter to me whether it's light in the morning, but when it gets dark at about 4:30 in the evening, it's just plain depressing. I am all for DST all year 'round.
