I prefer standard time over daylight time. But everybody has their own opinion of it. I don't care about late sunsets, like early sunrises.

I’m the same way. I love the early rises since the sun helps me get up for work.

This is the time Louisiana could move to the easiest.

I actually don't mind daylight savings time. I like the longer days. I've never been a heavy sleeper so the extra hour or lost hour does nothing for me.

Oh boy...I can still remember one time when the local paper featured a Q&A section every week, and one time the question was "Should I set my clock forwards or backwards, since this DST begins Sunday."

The paper said (incorrectly) to set it backwards one hour.

The next week, the paper wrote a correction saying you should have set the clock forwards one hour.

Should just leave it be. No need to change times twice a year

keep DST year-round or not...either way is fine by me.
just don't change the time twice a year.

wish list:
1. use "pilot time" or "Zulu time" nationwide. it would be 5 o'clock (22:00) everywhere.
2. have a 365 calendar (plus leap days) and eliminate months. my birthday would be 148 (May 28).
3. shoot for the moon: go full-on star date, or something like it, for everything.
