Sully, This time change thing has been on and off a few different times. When I was really young we had it and then they stopped it. Several years ago it went back into effect. My kids were both born in the early 70's and they did not remember it when Indiana reinstated doing the change. I think it is easier when you are retired. I go to bed when I get sleepy and get up when either my body or the dog says *time to get up.* *Marilyn* On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 4:54 PM, Lisa Lepore <lisa.lepore2@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, I agree - the time change is weird.

Personally, I HATE DST... I'd love to see the data that proves it saves energy. To my knowledge, the idea came from Ben Franklin.. it's been around that long...
