Just Leave It Alone!!

Let me just get this out in the open...I hate daylight savings time. I've never liked it, and probably will only when I'm older and need the extra daylight. I remember as a kid, my bedtime would be around 7:30 at night, and it was still "blue" outside. Laying in my bed, I would hear the other kids playing, but nooo..bed time for me.

Granted, I'll give the devil his due. Each household will save a small amount of money due to springing forward earlier, and falling backward later in the year. But the big benefit is when all of that savings is put together - hundreds of millions of dollars a year are saved nationwide. That can go a LONG way to help fund research into other energy sources.

But I still wish they would just leave it alone. Changes make my alarm clock, angry...very angry, and take my word for it, you won't like him when he's angry!
