I don't care about the actual time change. It doesn't bother me a bit. I just don't like it being pitch dark before dinnertime stupid:

I dunno, I don't care. I just like the fact that when I wake up the sun is actually up.

[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":71aa3]I completely agree, I hate when it gets dark so early. Living in AL is even worse than in other states, because there have been several attempts to move us into EST because the difference is very marginal. So essentially we've got EST sunsets but yet we're in CST. Because of that, it's already pitch dark by 5:15. In the dead of winter, it's pitch black by 4:45. No shit, 4:45. I'm not talking about it being dusk, I'm talking about like 10:00 just like you described. It's fucking gay. I might as well be living in fucking Alaska it gets dark here so early.[/quote:71aa3]

So... wouldn't it be worse to be moved to EST? It would be darker an hour earlier, unless I'm totally missing the point...

What I'm saying is AL is so close to being in the EST, but we're not. The time that the sun sets here is practically the same as what it does in NY, FL, etc... Since we're still in CST the sun sets unusually soon, whereas if the time was in fact switched to EST it would set @ about 6:00, which is a more normal time for the sun to go down on standard time.

It'd be like living on the time zone line, standing on the EST side and saying, "it's 6:00 and it's dark," then go back over the line to CST and say, "It's 5:00 and it's dark."

There are actually a few cities in AL that have switched to EST, even though the actual time zone line never breaches the AL/GA state line.

Living in California it never seemed as if daylight savings made difference on the sun save for the time. Jesus, in Colorado it's like major impact.
