More daylight!
I could not be happier about the earlier change to Daylight Savings Time. Winter is simply not good for me. I don’t like the cold, and even more than that, I don’t like the dark.
If it were up to me all those school kids would wait for the morning bus in darkness so I could have an extra hour of daylight in the evening to get me through the winter. Yes, year ’round daylight savings time would suit me just fine.
But I suppose I’ll just have to be satisfied with the extra time we do get, one of the few things Congress has done in the past 6 years that I agree with. Plus, it’s funny watching the slightly panicked news stories about how IT departments are going to have to work all weekend to make sure the unexpected time change doesn’t cause a mini Y2K with all their software (especially funny because, as you may recall, the actual Y2K was pretty much a non-event, software crisis-wise.)
