We own a home in FL and would love to see this bill pass (even if it does, it has to go to US Congress for approval).

Why doesn't Congress get rid of this nonsense??

I would love to see daylight savings time made permanent.

Then there are the school busses and we don't want our kids on the side of the road in the dark or do we want them coming home or leaving when nobody is there.

Yes people would adapt and systems would adapt. But I do think it is more complicated than just worrying if you have to remember to reset your clocks.

My Dad was a teacher and he often talked about kids at the bus stop in the dark - but in the dead of winter - they still are in the dark. School starts EARLY here.

I mean, I can live with winter darkness - I've done for it a lifetime but I really HATE leaving work at 4:30 and it's already dark out.

My SIL was thrilled that daylight savings would give her plants an extra hour of sun.

She also wanted a long yard stick.

We don't need daylight savings time.
