    wtf, wasn't this done in the old days and shit, i'm sitting here at work and it's 4:30 and the damn sun is starting to set, well not set, but getting shady.

    That sux, it means i won't have as much daylight to play with trucks, every year this irritates the hell out of me.

    The only upside is , it forces me to be more tired than i actually am, and i'll get to bed at a reasonable time.

    now a dumb question, tx does this saving shit, how does that affect the time zone, lol, now are we actually one time zone over, hahaha, not all states do this correct?


    later,

    You are correct sir, not all parts of Indiana follow it. I may live in Wisconsin but I have to go there all the time and I can never remember if they are on the same time or a different time from me.

    ya, this just sux, what's the idea of having it these days, just a month ago or so, it was getting dark at 9pm, that was way too late, i wish it got dark somewhere around 7:30 to 8pm,

    that must suck having to remember what time they are on and going back and forth trying to be on time,

    I heard that some area towns do not change time. It was wet and rain Sunday and overcase today so it made it feel later that it was. I think it is to help the kid going to school. So they do not need to be out in the dark waiting on the school bus. I much preferr having light at night than in the morning. I can sleep at work haha can not sleep at home after work.
