Remember to change those clocks before you go to bed tonight!

Mets game ain't on 'til 1 pm. I haven't slept until one in twenty years. I'll fix the clocks tomorrow ;-)

Great, an hour less sleep tonight.

The lost hour is outweighed by having the sun set later. The Little Leaguers won't have to practice in the dark anymore.

I'm all for later sunsets. I'm just grumpy over losing an hour of sleep. I don't get that much in the first place, which I know is my own fault. I'd be fine with it if they didn't fall back again in October, even though it does give me my hour of sleep back when they do.

Agree with the Doc on that one. I once read that the only reason we switch back at all has something to do with farmers or something. Whatever. Let them plow in the dark.

It's not farmers, they simply adjust their day to the sun anyway and don't really care what 'oclock' you call it. It's the folks at the western end of each time zone who already have much later sunrise/sunset times to start with. With year-round DST they'd be having mornings that were dark until 9:00AM or so and kiddies going to school in pitch-blank. So just STFU and adjust your beauty rest you primadonna elitist east side of the time zone snobs.
