Yes, Jessica! You and I are one in the desire for DST all the time.

The status is NOT quo.

Hey. New board.
Me too. I am on the eastern edge of my time zone, so DST feels more "right"
For modern society DST makes more sense. 7 to 7 on the solstice is a far more reasonable daylight than 6 to 6, even if it does mean that the sun is over head at 1 than noon. Noon isn't really the middle of the modern day!

Hey. New board.
And I would take 8 to 6 for a short day over 7 to 5 ANY time. So, yes, DST forever! Start the campaign!

My only real complaint about DST is that I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE AN HOUR OF SLEEP BECAUSE OF IT. I do not adapt well to time changes. Yes, jet-lag is a given if I travel anywhere out of my time zone.
Today I learned that young, chirpy, Very Christian girls like to go to the local women-only spa after church, and talk loudly about how exulted they feel, knowing about the glory of G-d, and that they wish they could bring the gospel to more people. Which, yay them, but loud religious conversations are not what I expect while I'm soaking in a hot tub.
However, one of them did ask me what one of my tattoos said. "It's in Latin, right?" she asked, smiling the smile of someone full of religious zeal.
"Yes, it is. Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc; it means 'we gladly feast on those who would subdue us'. It's the traditional motto of the Addams Family."
She didn't talk to me after that.

Noon isn't really the middle of the modern day!
It should be! Noon should stay noon, dammit. Sundials forever!
Also, your modern day and mine are clearly not the same. 8-6 daylight is SO MUCH WORSE than 7-5

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is amazing, Jilli.

Eek--I mean, at least the place is open on Sundays, unlike the Korean one which is closed Sundays because they're so Christian? But ick.
I got up all early, and did yoga, and now it's almost 5pm and I have not left the house again. I did roast up some broccoli and some cauliflower. But I feel I really ought to have accomplished something today. ...not sure WHAT, but something.

I guess not. I have to be at my desk by 7:30, so usable morning daylight isn't really an option for me either way. I get off at 3:30 which usually means home by 4:30, so an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day is far more usable for me than an extra hour in the morning.
Not sure what your schedule is, but something more 9 to 5ish might be better on the other schedule, since it is basically my reverse in that either option will have a dark evening...
