    Default Daylight Savings Time

    So there is a bill pending to eliminate the time change. Aready passed the Senate, now in the house. I'm not sure if it eliminates DST or makes it permanent.

    I LOVE DST. I cannot imagine how anybody that works a regular job doesn't love it, too. It's an hour of life every afternoon. If we're eliminating the time change, DST needs to go all year. What are y'all thoughts?

    DT, what's the skinny?

    I don't care either way, just leave it one or the other.

    I guess if I had to choose, i'd let it be light earlier...

    Why are people always thinking up stupid shit to change what works?
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Make the time we have now permanent. I like having the extra light in the afternoon. I get to go to work later in the morning and hunt or prepare to hunt in the afternoon . It also helps me to complete the honey do’s before the weekend.

    If y’all don’t know, you really didn’t gain another hour. If you lazy asses would get up before noon, their will be plenty of daylight. If you want it year round roll the watches back an hour and rock on.

    It's not when you get up. It's when you get home.
    Dang. Do I have to explain everything?

    I so hope this is true. I hate daylight savings time. It saves nothing. I told someone earlier today that if I hear one more person say we have more daylight I was going to smack them.

    I would split the difference and leave it alone.
