Out of interest - do you still change your clock for daylight saving??? I heard you rapped it, wondering if thats true or not?

Yes, most of us do.. Some of us don't, and never did (Arizona? Parts of Indiana?).

On, and no need to put a apostrophe at the end of "Americans" - doing that makes it possessive.

I do wish they'd give up on GMT in the UK, winter is always fucking miserable.

We still do it even though there is no real reason to anymore. I think it's stupid. Regardless, in the winter I leave for work and it's dark and when I get home it's dark.

Minnesota rules! :roll:

George W adjusted daylight savings time a few years ago so we get a little more sun. It's the one and only thing he did during his administration that I approved of.

I generally like fall/winter more than spring/summer, feel more productive and content (for lack of a better word) when it's dark out than when the damn sun never seems to set. But man, this last week or so has been throwing me off with the sun going down earlier. I keep thinking it's like 10 when it's actually 7. When the time change hits I'm sure that's going to mess me up even more.
