I really hate it. I would prefer just to stay on DST (so that the sun would be brightest at 1 p.m.) for the whole year.

With standard time dark comes at 4:30ish in CT and my car needs to be safely in the garage...no afternoon tea, no matinee performances.

I love having an extra hour of daylight, but the main reason for that in the past five years is personal. It means that I can drive the hour to my daughter's house and spend more time with the granddaughters before driving back. I'm not crazy about driving back after dark on the parkway I use because it's a popular deer crossing, and, well, I'm not crazy about driving at night anyway. So, for that reason alone, it's worth the lost hour of sleep.

It only happens twice a year, and it isn't as if we're "losing" anything, since it gets gained back in the fall. <br /><br />As for setting clocks, I just take my cell phone around the house and check on the time with it. Cell phones, computers, even my car clock now all reset themselves automatically. Even our bedside alarm clock does now; it's an atomic clock that resets itself every single night at 2 AM, anyway. <br /><br />Lots more pressing issues to worry about, as far as I'm concerned. So I'm glad to let everyone else worry about this one on my behalf.
