Growing up day light saving time was sweet. I could surf til around 830pm after school unlike without it was dark by 730 or so only thing I liked about it.

Also hated going to bed when it was still light when I was real young

Every year around this time I hear about some bill that would make DST permanent. I used to be hopeful that that bill would pass soon and we could quit the twice yearly madness of collectively offsetting our circadian rhythms by 1/24th of the time it takes the Earth to make a full rotation.. Fuck it, I've waited long enough. Last year, I became a UTC-8 household year round. During the winter when my neighbors are using standard time, my watch is in sync with everyone else's. When spring comes around and I step outside to do my commute, I've crossed a timezone border and I'm thinking in the local time, UTC-7. Trash gets picked up at 7AM UTC-7 during the spring, and 7AM UTC-8 during the winter? No problem, I bring the trash to the street at 5:30AM UTC-8 year round. That way there's always 30+ minutes buffer, and I didn't have to change my sleep schedule. #winning
