Day light saving time.

So do I! How do you get the Government to get rid of this sillyness? I know Arizona does not do it.

Anyone know why we still do this?

They kept daylight savings time during the winter for one year back in the 70's, at least where I was living in the east. Changed back to standard time the next year after massive complaints from parents whose little kids had to wait in the morning darkness for their schoolbuses.

Isnt Arizona kind of near the edge of one time zone? I think they see less affects of this lack of morning light when kids go to school, ect.

Anyone from Arizona?

I remember when the topic of kids going to school in the dark got so much publicity, and my parents thought that complaint was silly, since they lived in Anchorage at the time and were raising my niece. They said the kids there were used to going to school, and coming home from school, in the dark every day./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
