I will too.

DST can DIAF. I'm in early riser. I run in the mornings. It would be nice if it wasn't dark until 7:00 am half of the year.

That's just being selfish - it doesn't discuss kids waiting for the bus or walking to school in the dark just because "I don't like it being dark when I leave work".
I'm kindof the opposite. I don't care if it's light or dark till 7:00 AM. I get up and go to work. but I like having the extended daylight in the evening that allows me to come home from work and do things like mow the yard or other outdoor things before it gets dark.

Yeah eastern part of the central time zone getting dark at 4 is no good.

When this first came up, golf industry was heavily lobbying in favor, for the reasons stated above. Naturally, this will get passed about the time I am thinking of retiring, so won't mean a thing to me.

I live in SW Florida and agree. More daylight time is a plus for me year round.

I spend most of my time outdoors and an extra hour or two of daylight works out well for me.

I do hate to see school kids at the bus stop at 7: 00 a.m. in the dark. Maybe starting an hour later would benefit them.

You realize this doesn’t change the Earth’s axis. Same amount of daylight, regardless when you lazy asses get up. But yeah, sun coming up at 9am in December and January will be AWESOME!!!!1!2!2!1!!1!2!1!1!11!1111111!111Juan
