I work the graveyard shift and I go in at 7:00 at night and now it's dark when I leave and when I come home and it's sometimes kinda depressing to be a vampire.

I love Daylight Savings Time! It's the closest thing we have to time travel! Every time I change the clocks, I'm hoping Doc Brown will screech up the driveway in a DeLorean.
Speaking of "Back to the Future", I'm very much like Doc in my love of multiple clocks. Syncing them up is always a challenge, and this morning was no different. Unlike Doc, I need my clocks to be accurate - I don't get it when people set their clocks ten minutes ahead of time in the hopes that they will fool themselves into being early. I tried this as a kid and it didn't work - I just did the math in my mind to get the real time each time I looked at the clock.

Daylight Savings Time rocks - at both ends. Love the jump forward, love the jump back. Hate hearing people whine about it.

"Spring forward" is the tough one for a couple of days.

I prefer the Daylight Savings Time of the year to the regular time. I do wish that Daylight Savings Time would go back to ending in October, though, before Halloween. The first half hour or so of trick-or-treating is still in daylight and the trick-or-treaters don't get the full effect of all the fog machines, strobe lights, and other scary things until it is completely dark.

I'm with you on that front, Brandon. My ten-year-old stepson was sooo disappointed this year because it wasn't dark.

I love taking my kids trick-or-treating in the daylight. My night vision is absolutely horrible, so I have to fumble around with a flashlight just to keep from breaking my fool neck on every sidewalk crack.

In Arizona, DST is not observed. During DST, Arizona is on Pacific Time. When DST ends, Arizona is on Mountain Time.

I wish I could set my clock to 1982, and buy one of every comic produced by Marvel and DC every month.....and share them with my kids, because the books aren't R-rated......
.....sorry, I'm OT again.......

Tony, there are plenty of nicely reprinted comics as Trade Paperbacks and hardcover omnibii. Don't give up hope!
