    Since the fall time change only happens once a year I keep forgetting why I don't like it. Today I remember.

    It has to do with the traffic. It now gets dark just about the same time traffic is heaviest ( 4:30- 6:00 pm).

    In the summer I can wait until the traffic is over, run errands, and get home before dark. Now I have to start so I'm finished by 4:00 pm. That's too early to start. ;)

    Of course by mid December that would happen under DST too, but I prefer to blame the time change.

    Now that I'm retired I'm allowed to rule out doing anything before noon, and I'm doing it. :D

    And I shall defend your right to misallocate blame!!! Please do the same for me ;)

    Perhaps we could move to Ecuador.

    End Daylight Saving Time! I hate springing ahead. I can't stand driving to jobs in the dark. Just leave time as it now is. Everything's fine. When we spring ahead, accidents increase, people feel bad, kids walk to school in the dark, etc.
