[Cliff Clavin] Uh, actually Norm, daylight savings time has nothing to do with farmers, and never did. That's a myth. Farmers are self employed, and don't have to adjust their schedules to match anyone else's, except the cows that need milking. Cows can't tell time. They need to be milked when their udders fill. Their udders will fill regardless of what Congress decides to call a particular time of day. Daylight savings time is, and always has been, for the rest of us, to make maximum use of the daylight hours. [/Cliff Clavin]

OK. I'll bite, how does a lucky southwesterner with plenty of glorious sunlight spend it all up? Not in front of her computer, obviously.

I tried living in the Pacific Northwest once, I was a basket case after the first week, but I'd committed to a job that forced me to stay there the entire year. I used to cry on my way into work and have dreams about driving home to the Southwest every night.

I hate those stupid time switches, BTW. Just keep it the same - daylight savings or standard. All the same out here in sunny Colorado.

Here's our forecast for tomorrow - HAHA!

Just to bring up the level of pedantitude (is that a word?) it's Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight Savings Time.
