DST is coming to an end so be ready to say bye bye to the creepy mornings at dark o clock. It will be FAR easier to get up for the next month! YAY! Brighter mornings are here! NOTE: If we had permanent DST it would not be bright till 9AM here in Oregon and California would experience Oregon's old time of brightness something they are NOT mentally ready for. They have NO idea the sacrifice they are asking for in permanent DST!

I just wish the fuck they'd do away with this time change nonsense once and for all.
It's a GREAT example of something that was meant to be temporary becoming permanent and hard to get the fuck rid of.
Sure, getting rid of it wouldn't please everyone, but, no matter which time-zone we stuck our clocks in, people would adapt. So there's more dark in the winter, boo hoo. That's what electric fucking lights are for.
Even where people still need regular hours, there's no need outside tradition for a local hour. People could adapt to "nighttime here is 1500 to 0300".
I'm looking forwards to the sunrising about now next week. It's pitch dark now but by this time next week it will be nearly bright even if it's cloudy it will be a major difference!
So get up with the sun.
Easier for me then the 17 million other commuters who'd otherwise be traveling in the dark all winter if we had Permanent DST. In fact we tried that in the 70s oil crisis and it lasted a grand total of about 2 months before being revoked due to the shit show it caused.
