[HPFGU-OTChatter] daylight saving

[Sherry Gomes]

I heard this too, and I hate the idea! I heard an interview with the congressman who's heading up this thing, and he was talking about how much more people enjoy the evenings when it's light and all that.  He said people don't like it to be light with the birds.  Well, I'm a morning person, and I do like it to be light with the birds.  I can still see early morning light, a little, when I'm outside, though after sunset, I can't really tell the difference between twilight and dark.  But I'm always up early, whatever the clocks say and to have the mornings be dark and dreary longer into the year is depressing.  I hope the bill doesn't pass.  I think there are actually quite a few daylight saving time dislikers out there.  LOL.  What a word!  Anyway, just my quarter or so of a cent on the subject.  Besides.  That means going longer before getting back the hour of sleep they steal from me to turn the clocks ahead.  Guess I should move to Arizona.
