Being an early morning person, I'd be perfectly happy if we stayed on EST year-round. I've been up for a couple hours and need to find a few more things to get done before going to work, as I don't want to get there before 6:30.
Daylight saving time

Closing in on your age. I was on an F150 forum and asked a question and a guy said "Just use your smartphone". I responded that I didn't have a smartphone and he said to get one and it would change my life. Little did I know how true that statement was. If I am working on something and not near my computer and have a question I just talk or tap an inquiry and get answers, even in the pasture or barn. I was in charge of our IT before it was called IT and was up on most current technology when I was in the corp world but since I retired from that environment I find that tech keeps marching on.When I think of all the life altering changes in 69 years, the effort of changing the clock twice a year sort of pales in comparison. For example, how do you compare changing from rotary dial phones to smart phones, to changing the clock twice a year? And for the time challenged Polish, a lot of new clocks and all cell phones automatically change time.
Try living in Alaska. You don't see much daylight for about a WEEK, but in the summer, there's not much darkness for the same period. The winter SUCKS, time change or not. If you're north of the circle, about 2 months of dark, then 2 months of daylight. Winter still sucks.
an extra hour in the morning isn't bad....I get up early and go fishing before work. Then in the Spring, I can fish AFTER work while there's daylight. I reckon I'm one of those weirdo's that tries to make the best of every minute. But I still manage to gripe about too much stuff.

I am with you on that one. I hate changing the clocks. It is a pain in the bottom and it never made sense anyway. Animals wake up with the sun and so do I. The clock has never been a factor in what time I wake up. I think that DST is for the benefit of politicians and drunks.

My Grandfather was born in Bohemia which is 1 of the 4 states of the CzechThat is sooooo bad!
Having spent a few years in the thumb of Michigan I heard hundreds of polish jokes, but the best ones were always from this old Polish guy and 99% of the time they were about his wife!
Republic. I had located some cousins but could not prove it. I had my DNA
analyzed and then paid to have 1 of my cousins done. Sure enough he was
my cousin. Of course, the strange thing was that our DNA originated in
Northern Norway. I suppose my GGGGG Viking Grandfather took his Viking
Longship into the Baltic sea, into the Elbe River, through Germany, through Austria into Bohemia where he asked my GGGGG Grandmother for a date
or whatever Vikings did.
