When they give that hour back I want it with interest.

Bah, I wish they'd just leave it like this. Gives me an hour later to spend
time out in the garden in the evenins when it counts and would be better in the
winter too. Gettin dark at only 5:30 or so as it does here when they switch it
back in the fall is depressing

I think you're right. Just set the clocks an hour ahead and leave em that way.
It would be better.
Even though we get that "extra" day every 4 years, the earth changes
by 1 degree in it's rotation every year. A solar based year and the 24 hour
earth rotation do not match up exactly.

I'm all for doing away with daylight savings time..it made sense when Ben
Franklin came up with the idea but not today...it's just a hassle nowadays..
here's something most of you probably haven't considered; in the USA, if you
have a driving job that requires you to keep a log book, you keep that book
based on your home terminal time zone...so for me, wherever I went I was on
Pacific time as far as my logs were concerned..(obviously you have to make the
mental adjustments when making pick-ups and deliveries involving appointment
times while you're in another time zone...) it always felt really weird being on
the east coast, especially in the winter, look at the clock it's 2pm, look
outside it's getting dark...opposite for east coast drivers on the west
coast..they look at the time and it's 8:00pm and just getting dark..
