Getting Up In The DARK!

Top of the morning to ye. It's St Patrick's Day, Daylight Saving Time is here, and I still dislike it. We now wake up in total darkness, even when we sleep in a bit, and the school kids walk to the bus in total darkness. There is not even a hint of daylight until about 7:30 a.m. well after both the high school and junior high kids are gone. The sun does not hit our house until 9:10 am.

I am still unable to find a single benefit we derive from Daylight Saving Time in Utah. Arizona got rid of this silly semi-annual change, I believe Utah should do the same. States are not obligated to use Daylight Saving Time. Their only obligation is if they do use it, they must change when the Federal Government says to change (March 8th this year).

Write your state representative and urge him to submit a bill in the next legislature to abolish DST in Utah.
