its good for those of us that work outside

How? Now its light out in the AM on my way into work, which is an absolute waste...and dark at 5:30pm, when I need it? Trust me, it sucks to attempt to see house addresses in the dark, let alone worry about deer jumping out from the brush along the roads.

Son went to a lock-in at our local ZapZone (laser tag) last night from 11-6. Daughter was already at a friends house, so wife and I thought we'd actually have a nice night to ourselves. Yeah, right. We should have known better....
I come to find out that I have to pick son up from lock-in at 5AM (SOB!!!!) due to the time change. I was NOT happy to have to get up at 4:30 to drive there.

i dont understand why people cant understand this. yes there are lights but the dot will not let shine bright lights in to on coming traffic so that we can work. now given that sunrise is earlier and yes i realize that sunset is also earlier but still not before 530 then i get another 1/2 hr on my check. i dont get to control what time i start work or what time i get off so for me turning my clock back is a good thing.

Dunno, but I'd fire your boss. If I could make more money by altering the time my employees start and end work, I'd do it.

Anyhow, right now, this is "Normal Time". In the spring we will go back on Daylight Savings Time. If there was no DST, the winter does not change. In the summer, the sun would go down at 7:00 instead of 8:00.

I always forget to change my clocks, thank god the iphone did the change automatically.

Would these beers be tall cans? Those are great and they are an economical option if you want to save some money.

yes, but you dont get back as mush from recycling though... less aluminum. Unless you drink an equal number of tall boys to 12 oz, then you'd have more aluminum, more beer, and a better night. That sounds more like a win win.... :D
