6:00PM and I can barely see to take out the trash.

Summers are eternal, daylight at Summer Solistice can go to past 9:30 PM

Then Winters -BOOM dark at 6:00 PM

WTF?? seems like it should be the other way around, to even out the times.
NOW is when we need an extra hour of evening daylight.

Summers already have more evening daylight - why add an extra hour?

And don't even tell me it's about saving energy.
That's crap - ill try to find a study, but ppl work all different shifts, all over the country.


Just get rid of DST at least, keep it all one time , it's not even healthy for the body to go thru dem changes.

It was changed because the powers that be wanted more time to play out in the summer evenings. And most people hide away inside in the winter months.......

I agree........I hate the way it is now.

LOL - not down here in Florida, winter is playtime.
yes I know the history, originally so farmers could get an extra hour of work done in the morning, and eat dinner, and go to bed at 8 PM.

But we are not an agrarian society anymore.
So what's the point?

I've heard some people say it's better for the kids who ride the bus to school. They don't have to wait outside in the dark for the bus so some stupid ass murderer can kill them.

well lets run the entire country for the kids.

I see the point, but for every reason why we have daylight at 6 AM, and darkeness the same , I can make counter arguments why it's bad for the economy.

Pll come home from work, and it;'s dark.
They get absolutely no sunshine.

Best idea.
Just do away with DST.
keep it all on standard time, and let the sun gradually change the hours of dayliht darkness.
better for your biorythyms, which also leads to lesss daylight deprivation and mood swings, and sickness.

Can ya tell I live in a cold weather state? LOL. You're just lucky enough to be living in Fl......Now stop smoking that weed so much and get outside and enjoy the weather......

[reiruviartugs]

me too, it starts getting dark at 5 here.

[Endatrybeeddy]

God knows Florida has more then their share of murdering whackjobs. I lost count on how many young mothers I chastised in grocery stores for walking away from their cart with their toddler sitting in it. I can't even imagine having a child ride a school bus or walk, no way.

It was safe down there when I was a kid, but no more.

oh come on, like this is unique to florida?


You want some crime? pick a state. Any state.

Coming from the murder zone of Baltimore City, this place is downright serene

Exactly, try south Memphis around south 3rd or Brooks Rd. Or maybe East St. Louis in the areas of Brooklyn or Washington Park. How about East Chicago around 130th street or ANYWHERE in West Louisvile. Let's not forget Bessemer outside Birmingham.

Sorry to tell you this Cos, but I helped pass the law back in the mid 1980's.

What I heard was that they do it so kids are not standing around in the dark in the morning waiting for buses etc to go to school...



I agree......... I don't like winter......... We get some rain & fog- Tully fog, ground hugging & thick & stinky sometimes (not as bad since all the cows are eaten & they put in row after row of houses)... Summers are pretty hot but
I think I never liked fall since I was a kid...... Fall meant end of summer-back to school, cold etc...

[NumDusthouh]

I hate going to work in the dark and getting home in the dark. Uncool!

Yep is depressing thinking about it...........

[mikeyyuiok]

I know the feeling. Seems our daylight hours are spent working indoors, for most of us..... And then there are those that love working at night, however, they spend their daylight hours sleeping off the nights work.... Go figure.....

Now you know Fl. is my home state, so I'm not going to bad mouth it needlessly. My people pioneered the danged place, for Pete's sake. If I compare where I am now to where I left (Tampa Bay) I'd have to say the crime in TB is about 100% higher...I chit you not. (Remember what I did there for a living. *G* )

When I first moved here I was stunned at the lack of crime, seriously. Law enforcement here is so backward because they aren't needed most of the time. I went dispatch job shopping and found most agencies here don't have NCIC or computers. If they have someone stopped and want to do a warrant check the dispatcher walks over to a freakin' filing cabinet!

I got stopped at a DUI, license/insurance checkpoint last week coming home from my monthly grocery ordeal at the nearest big town an hour away. I had everything he needed flipped out the window before he even had a chance to ask for it, and I rattled off: 1074 1029 valid Ga 1027 expires 2016, 1048? You should have seen the look on his face, LMAO! I said "I guess you know what I used to do for a living, huh?" We both had a good laugh.

I'd go insaneeeeee from boredom trying to dispatch here.

well you can't compare Tampa Bay, the I-4 corridor to
East Bumfuck ( where ever the hell you are) rural areas.


No NCIC computers? do they even have a telegraph line? LOL
