We don't tinker with the time here in Arizona. I think it's cool to see the different times the sun rises and sets throughout the year, without trying to compensate for nature by messing around with the clock. I wish the rest of the country would abandon that irrelevant practice. 8)

I like having it stay lighter out later at night.

They're thinking about doing double daylight savings this summer in Britain, I'm all for it, because it means it'll be bright out until like 11 o'clock

Does that mean sunrise would be at 9 am? Don't know how well I could handle getting out of bed in the dead of night.

Na, I think it would be about 7 or 8. Doesn't matter to me, I'm not likely to be up before the break of noon during the summer anyway.

I say we just throw away all the clocks and go by the sun, like the Romans. They seemed like they were havin' a good time. 8)

There's gotta be a Hank Yarbo joke in here somewhere.

My wife had changed all of our clocks by about 4pm today - - at this point I'm not sure what time it is!

I do also enjoy the longer daylight though...when it really kicks in around Easter.

We havent changed our clocks down here yet- but I sure am missing the late sunsets in the summer :)

In January, sundown is about 9:15 at it's latest- but all trace of sunlight gone at 9:30pm..

The only thing I hate when there are no daylight savings in the winter- is going to work in the dark, and coming home in the dark.

My brother in Queensland gets up at 5am and sometimes can feel the full heat of the sun :)

Love it myself. I can work a hour later without the light giving out. Can start the day doing all the easy mundane stuff that I don't need a lot of light for.

British construction. It's like a journey back into victorian times. I keep telling em it's the twenty first century not the eighteenth. They ain't buying it though.
