There's a bill in MO to go the way of IN. I assume it has something to do with the Federal government not being able to tell *us* what time it is. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 07:39
Because daylight before I get up in the morning is wasted, daylight after supper is awesome. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:38 12
- The concept of "used" and "wasted" daylight is L5! worthy. If anything, it being dark when I wake up is a waste of daylight. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 07:44 5
  - if it's light at 5am, what percentage of the population is utilizing that? -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 07:45 4
    - 5am? I am talking 8am. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 07:48 3
      - right now, but what about July? -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 07:49 2
        
        with DST, sunrise in Toronto on July 1st is 5:40am. Without it, it would 4:40am. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 07:50 1

seriously. it was pitch black this morning when I tried to get up. (note: could barely; had to drive.) -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 14, 07:34
We held out as long as we could, so we blame the rest of you assholes for this fresh hell. -- nm - Indiana Mar 14, 07:32 2
- LOLs -- nm - Arizona Mar 14, 07:33 1
  - Old people never know what time it is, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 07:34
Welcome to the team -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 07:31
