“This time I won’t let you get away from me.” –JoJo
Police statistics requested by the Free Press confirm that the Mondays after the springtime change are worse than usual for traffic crashes.
On that cheery note, after a week of reminding viewers to spring forward, I was an hour late everywhere I went yesterday and just now realized it was because I haven’t changed my clocks.
Is Daylight Saving Time really necessary?Â

No, it is definitely NOT necessary. I hate it and never feel right until we fall back in October. First they said it was done for the farmers to have more daylight, then that it’s for the economy so that people will shop later since it stays light longer. I am not a farmer and do not like to shop after work so DST, BITE ME! (Wow, I sound angry, huh? Blame in on a rainy Monday. I want my hour back!!!

Many places in the U.S. don’t observe daylight savings. I believe the entire state of Arizona doesn’t observe it and parts of Indiana.
Maybe you could personally choose to ignore it and not change the clocks in your home. I might do this.
So if you used to go to work 8 to 5 standard time just now pretend you’re going 7 to 4. Also pretend everyone else has the time wrong and you’re the only one that is correct and have a laugh about it to yourself.

I believe that if the issue of abolishing DST would be put to a public vote, 70% would for abolishing it. I’d rather that standard time be the “standard” all year.
I’ve yet to run into anyone that stated how much they love DST.
BTW, I dig this site. That also goes for the responders of the main posts.

I continuously leave my clock on 3:14am 24/7. That way, I ALWAYS know what time it is.

Sal..ask Jason or Steve to show you the creepy baby that he always used to use in the key graphic for any and all baby related stories. I used to see it and scream in fear. It was like a two month old with a full set of teeth! Creepy!

There is not MORE daylight!! It just is shifted later in the day (if you care about the clock).
Farmers worked from dawn to dusk whether it started at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m.

Exactly, denise. My favorite comment to Tell The Times (back when it existed) was from someone who said they were not in favor of Daylight Saving Time because it allowed the sun to burn up their grass.
