And here in South/Central Texas the humidity will be somewhere around 378% with an average temperature at about 134F! Just looking out your window will make you sweat and the only place to really find a comfy temperature will be at 13k. Guess I better spend some time up there then.

For me Daylight savings SUCKS!!!!! I work form 3:30pm til 2:00am so that jsut means everyone else gets to stay out and play longer in the sun while I'm inside missing out on the more sun.........and to make matters worse I'm next to the Airport so I can see when the jumpers are jumping!!!!

I live in my own little world - - - but it's okay, they know me here.

I never really understood this... why don't we just "spring ahead" 1/2 hour, and then just leave it alone and quit changing it. What's 30 minutes?
When I start my own country, that's what we're doing. Sure we'll be off by 1/2 hour to the rest of the world, but who cares?! At least we won't have to change our clocks twice a year.

I vote we just do away with clocks and show up to work when we want to.

wild: there's a province in canada that does that, and they're the butt of every joke... coincidence? i think not.. maybe you want to rethink that policy for WildBlueLand....

It was established by Ben Franklin back in old army, and it was for the benefit of farmers (and skydivers eventually) giving them a longer day (daylight) when they really needed it (planting/harvest)

Not just Canada...Arizona does not honor daylight savings time either. Gets pretty confusing, I imagine. And as for being off with the rest of the 'world,' I am pretty sure only the US uses daylight savings.

Ferret, once again I find myself having to correct US citizens, the UK put their clocks back last weekend, so you guys are a little bit behind the times............again!!!!
Heres the real bummer, I was in Scotland last weekend and lost an hour of partying time, now here I am, back in the US, still jet lagged and I have to go through this nonsense again.
Bah, more lost beers.

I'm in the same boat. 4:45 p.m. to 1:45 a.m. Weekends included. Ugh. I have the same feelings about DST.

Daylight savings is not only a US thing. it is used in Europe too and Asia I assume as the former USSR was on 2 continents.
