straightshooter1 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Sorta surprised to see this topic on "What I Hate" since almost everyone I know loves it. I go to work in the dark regardless of whether it is DST or EST here in sunny Florida. What is nice is that there are more hours after work to do things outside. I guess it doesn't matter if you go out to bars or movies or even to eat, but outdoor activities are much better when you can, for example, see the ball. I do visitation on Thursday evenings for our Church and trying to locate a house or address is really hard in the dark, even when you are relatively familiar with the area. Plus, even though I know most of the folks I visit, I don't like to knock on doors or ring the doorbell after dark. Lots of these folks are old, ill, etc. and I want them to be able to see it is someone they know at the door and not some burglar or robber. Sadly the burglars and robbers like the nice weather here just as much as we do. Working in the yard is much more pleasant when you can see what you are doing, i.e. weed vs. flower. I noticed someone said they don't like to go to bed when it is still light. Even in the middle of summer, the longest days of the year, it is dark by a few minutes after nine here. DST-my favorite time of the year. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I'm all about daylight after work. I live right near a school and let me tell you about none of the kids would be walking to school in the dark no matter what time it was.. the parade of SUVs and minivans at 7:00 is non-stop. DST year-round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Man Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Love it too, I think all of us in the Central Time Zone would rather it be Daylight Savings year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dunn Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Works out great for me. One hour less of call this weekend. More shooting time after work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I realized now why I posted in the hate thread. I'm just jealous because I don't get to shoot. Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Think about all the states that have a time zone running down though part of their state and what they really think about time changes. Mountain - central could have followed the North & South Dakota, Nebraska borders to Colorado instead of its current cross country confusion. The western part of Montana does have daylight til 10:00PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougBarnes101 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Even though I posted in the What I Hate I would be for DST all year long. Then it is no longer DST it's just a different time zone. You could get used to it and there would be no change. I could go along with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 We don't change here in AZ. Took me a while to get used to not changing because I grew up changing back and forth and now I don't have too. The pain is always having to figure out what time it is when calling relatives on the west coast and in the midwest. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Given the fact that I normally get out of home when it's still dark, I greatly enjoy getting out of office when there is still sun light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenTexSlim Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I love it. Being able to get home after work & still have 2 1/2 + hours of daylight. = more shooting time. Of course it helps being able to drive down to the creek in the pasture behind my house to shoot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Man Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The change kills me I wish we could pick one and never change again! It takes me weeks to adjust. I liked DST year around when Nixon was in office. JMHO FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I LOVE daylight savings time. Now I get to: Spring ski after work. Run the dog during daylight. Get to see the sun when I go to work AND when I come back home. DST Rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I find it incredible that anyone could actually keep a straight face and publicly declare their opposition to DST.... It's ALL to the good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Harumph! So with all this daylight we save during the Summer, how come we can't spend it during the Winter when we could use a little more daylight? If I had my way the whole planet would go on UTC.

dajarrel Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think I've just been DST. Dude....did it hurt? I enjoy the extra light at the end of the day that allows me to shoot on some days that I previously couldn't. And Dale, I wish it were year-round as well. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
