Daylight savings really confused the heck out of me this time. I was on a road trip with my family from Texas to LA with stops along the way in Arizona and Las Vegas. We were trying to hit these locations at particular times, but with DST, time zone changes, and the fact that Arizona does not observe DST, we kept getting extremely confused about what time it was at any given point and what time it would be at our destinations. I'm looking forward to staying in one time zone now that I'm on my way home.

Just flew back & Europe & I gotta admit it's nice to have one fewer hour to adjust to.

1st half of March seems a bit too early to be starting this thing.

No kidding.
Just now got it to where we all get up with daylight outside. Won't happen for another month or so after the time change.
Also, this is going just going to put the sun lower in the sky on my commute, meaning I'll more time to be blinded by it as I travel east.
ONE OR THE OTHER, I DON'T CARE. JUST NOT BOTH, AND CERTAINLY NOT NINE MONTHS OF ONE AND THREE MONTHS OF THE OTHER.

I'm just so glad I don't live in Indiana. They're on Daylight with the rest of us now and yet, from what I've read, everything's still fucked up over there.

When I think about how in July, sunrise starts at 5:30 am which would usually be 4:30 am, I'm willing to sacrifice one day in the spring to get a decent rest for six hours during the summer.
And when I say "sacrifice one day in the spring," I mean one day in late April, not freakin' March.

I think it used to be early April. DST got extended in 2007 so there'd be four extra weeks of it.

I know, right? Also,
Wyoming Senator Michael Enzi and Michigan Representative Fred Upton advocated the extension from October into November especially to allow children to go trick-or-treating in more daylight.[11]
