I had rather stay on regular time all year, I work by daylight and not the clock. If I need to be somewhere early I'll just set the alarm for whatever time I need to get up.

I agree with the Indians... just leave it one way or the other and let the schools and or industry or whoever wants to "save time" change their clocks. ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |

AMEN Hubert!! Seems now that there is a real uproar about it since there have been 3 BAD school bus accidents and where some students were standing in the dark and waiting for the but when someone drove their pickup into them. All 3 were killed.... Yep, just get rid of it ALTOGETHER!!! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

| Yes, set the time and leave it alone. There ended up being 5 school bus accidents all together, I can't blame that on time, I think it's stupidity that causes them accident, to many things in the car to play with and not paying attention to what your supposed to be doing. |

| Where I live DST is a good fit and would be good all year. Not the same everywhere though. I was near Canadian border in N Dakota several years ago about the middle of June. It was going on 10pm and wasn't quite dark yet!I couldn't believe that! |

I'd rather it was light out early... Morning is my best time. When it's dark in the AM, I tend to sit around and drink entirely TOO much coffee.... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

yes sir. That's why they say that it takes a real man to spend a cold winter night with an Eskimo woman. Because the winter night lasts six months. Darrel |

| Well Ted. I'm thinking that I probably did. Think an Eskimo woman loses her life and a grizzly bear gets made love to. ..? Darrel |

Well I got to thinking Tom and if I change a few words in it, I can say it on here.....so here goes..... There was this guy who wanted to be a part of the Allis-Chalmer club in Alaska. They told him he could join up if he wanted, but there were a few things he had to do first...... 1. He had to have or buy and A-C tractor. 2. He had to make love to an Eskimo woman and 3. He had to wrestle a grizzly bear and wear it all out. Well he says, that number 1 is easy, I already have 8 Allis tractors. I'll have to think about them other two....... A week goes by and he comes back to the club meeting and he's all cut up and has a patch over one eye and all wrapped up in bandages and stitches showing. He says, "I made love to that grizzly bear, now where's that Eskimo woman I have to wrassle with".... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
