I think DST is actually very important. Without it, you'd be having sunrises at 4 in the morning. Do you really want to wake up that early? We will want the extra hour in the evenings anyhow, as we're out doing stuff in the better weather. And just think of the energy savings-that should be really important these days.
EDIT (since I dual-posted with Chuck)-Since it sounds like some of you have a really large amount of clocks, why not keep a list of all the clocks that you simply refer to when DST occurs-that way, you'd be sure to get them all, and get it all done in little time (no pun intended).
kolechovski There are all kinds of clocks all over the place that need reset to the current time-this happens every time change.

Every time change, I am astounded by the number of clocks I have to change. One point is truly a (you should pardon the expression) a sign of the times) and the other point is that I can't remember that we have so many clocks after six months. I always figure that if I get them all done by Memorial Day, I'm doing pretty well.
Actually, most of my digital clocks reset themselves.
Daylight savings time is the cruelest joke Ben Franklin ever played on us.

I still like what I heard a radio DJ say many years ago when reminding listeners of the time change: "Those of you with digital clocks--you'll be busy the rest of the day."

I know exactly what you mean... as I have gotten older the more the old adage of:
"Spring Forward; Fall Back"
for how to set the clocks in association with Daylight Savings Time has become a continuous,
"Spring Up; Fall Over".

Apparently not on the Rochelle webcam yet. Had me confused for a minute or so last night. Not that that's really hard to do these days, especially late at night.
