 Please don't misunderstand .....

 Personally, I think Daylight "Savings" time is one of the dumbest things
 to have ever come from the legislature, ever.

 It puts little kids in danger, more-so now that every other soccer-mom
 in an SUV is paying more attention to their cell phone than what that
 bump was.....
 We could go on almost forever with what's wrong with DST, but that
 never seems to stop Washington.

 IMHO a much better idea is to abolish DST forever.
