Sorry if this is already posted, hope the mods will take appropriate action.  
Being an early morning type I’ve always loathed DST. Hope the like minded will join me in signing this prayer for sanity

No way! If anything, extend daylight saving time to year-round. Heck, go to double DST in the summer even. I hate it when it’s dark as I get home frm work in the winter.

I’m looking forward to the DST switch over March 10. I’ll finally see daylight after I get home from work. I need to get started on my yard work and flowerbeds.

Yup, I’m happy to – the appropriate action in this case being to remove the link and close the thread.
