Who dislikes the DST changes?
I love them!

I love waking up to the dark, going to work and seeing the damn BEAUTIFUL sunrise each morning.

I like the extended lit hours in the afternoon.

More time to feel alive.

I. Like. The. Changes.

Sorry to be in the minority, if I am in the minority.

2. Don't schedule 'rehab' on the 26th...
I've got it penciled in at that time.

They'll be busy with me.

5. Rehab is for quitters
Excel in what you do. I'm up at 4 every day to hit the gym or do a morning ride on my bicycle soDST or not, it's dark when I get up. Lighter later in the evening is fine by me it let's us go out for a second ride after work.

8. I don't like getting up earlier, but the alternative is the
other way when we set the clocks back and I have to come home in the dark. Between the two, I like this time of year better too. Overall though, I don't see why they don't just make clocks that go with our planetary orbit's rhythms. In other words, days become longer as the seasons change from winter to summer and the days become shorter as the seasons change from summer to winter. So why not make clocks follow the pattern and get with the program. It would save a lot of needless readjusting at least part of the year.

Screw the 2 dimensional 60 degree/360 degrees circle they used to use to make clocks with hands on them. Most of us have gone digital now. Let's just go with a 3D model of earth and count time like our days on earth actually are. It would be much more interesting to me, anyhow. :shrug:

And it is possible. Too bad I got sideswiped on my project or I would have asked if I could use a farmer's almanac to get the sunrises and sunsets for the entire year and made a clock that counted time to that rhythm. He would have said no probably, but I would have enjoyed trying it.
