Cant wait. We always wanted them to stay on this upcoming time. Darker mornings and longer days . Bet they dont though. Doesn't matter now.

My kids were up at 5:30 this morning. This buys me another month or so of peaceful coffee in the morning. As far as they are concerned, if the sun is up, sleep time is over.

I felt the same way when my kids were young.
Now that they're teens, dragging their asses out of bed just gets that much harder.

this appears to be the only excuse for not doing it. ohhh kids will be going to school in the dark, boo hooIn the California voter guide, state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson argued against permanent daylight saving time.
"It would be light in the evening in the summer, as it is now, but winter mornings would be dark for an extra hour so children would be going to school in the dark," Jackson said.

"Spring ahead" I always look at as the terrible price you have to pay in exchange for warm weather. And still you're likely to get screwed on the deal for a few weeks.

This weekend? Awesome!
That means the annual trip to Vegas for the pac 12 tourney won't have us losing an hour of sleep the last night there. Woot!

Easy fix: Listen to all the studies that say that we're sending our kids to school too damned early anyway.hitbyambulance wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 5:46 pm i was hoping this could be the last time any of the western-coast states make the time change

I'm working in the hospital overnight Saturday, so the time change helps me out...shortens my 24-hour weekend call shift by an hour

Only for those silly people who insist on the astronomical seasons rather than the more common-sense meteorological seasons. Summer and winter are about the weather, not about where stars happen to be.LordMortis wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 5:29 pm Isn't it Winter Forward? Spring is nearly two weeks away, i'n'it?
