around here, all I remember from when I was a kid was being told we could go out after suppah cuz of the extended daylight.

Beaten to the real....

The idea was to conserve on artificial lighting by shifting the times people were awake, not by asking them to get up earlier, but instead by changing the clocks. When it was instituted, most electricity went to powering lights, with very few other devices that required power. As time progressed, and technology evolved, more and more devices started to depend on electricity. In these modern times where lighting is predominantly done with low wattage CFL's and LED bulbs, the energy savings from DST has diminished to less than a percentile. On the other hand, it is estimated by the New York Times that DST actually costs $434 million in lost productivity to the economy each year, from people being late to work, and messing up sleep cycles twice a year.

Arizona doesn't do DST. It is the only thing I miss about that hellish roasting pit of a state.

Sure you may, Frank . . . but not on THIS.

Lost me after that and it's okay. It's prolly filled with more whining.

You ever do anything besides whine?

Boo-Frickety-Hoo.

It would be awesome to see the House...in DC...do something and get it right. This is one of those items.

The can also sit in their own districts and be approachable...we have this wonderful invention called Cisco TelePresence.

Noobs are not allowed to "yawn".........you are here to learn grasshoppa.

I wasn't yawning because of the conversation but rather I stayed up late smoking cigars and drinking scotch...by the time it was ready to hit the sack, I got to see the clock flip...3am seemed so much later than 2am....I was legit tired.

Only good thing is light till 9pm in June.
