Booo!! Actually I wish they would leave it alone one way or the other. This is part of their energy bill. As usual Congress messes things up.

In the mid-80s the Clorox Co.(Parent co. of Kingsford Charcoal) ran a successful lobby to have DST changed from the last Sunday in April to the first resulting in an 8% increase in sales. I bet they're behind this, I just know they are.

I DESPISE DST!!! It always messes up my internal clock and I'm off for the next month or so. That means two months--or close to 20% of my year--I'm goofy because I'm off by an hour.

:thinking: Would consider moving to Arizona where this is not an issue, but then I wouldn't have good high school football to keep me occupied. I'll take a messed up sleep schedule and Texas hs football over dry, hot summers, dry and hot winters, dry and hot spring, dry and hot...you get the idea :cool:
