I do but then again I don't. I hate it being dark already when I am getting home from work, but I also like gaining that hour of sleep!!!

1. I LOVE IT!!!
I'm one of the weirdos who loves it when it gets dark early, and I love the extra sleep time!

4. What's wrong with it being dark?
;)

I love fall. It's the best season, IMO. I love the fall colors, the crisp, cool air, the new beginnings (school and all) and the football.

7. Helllllllll no.
I go to work when it's dark, sit in a cube in a building with few windows, work through lunch, and leave, when it's dark.

10. I love it, but I HATE it when we go back in the spring.
It takes me forever to get "caught up" again. PLUS the kids don't like going to bed when it's still light out.

12. I lived 2 years in a state without it
I will add, it was the only virtue of that state... not having to change all the clocks, disrupting my shaky sleep pattern, etc.

So the trade-off is worth it: Better state, damn clock change. :P

14. I like it if it happens on a weekend and I'm out somewhere.
I don't like the early dark thing either though.
When does that happen this year anyway?

17. I like both time changes.
Especially this one, because it heralds the coming of cooler weather and holidays.

24. time change? wtf is that? hoosier here, we don't change. at least not yet
next spring looks like our turn to change to DST. i'm indifferent about changing to eastern time zone, but i would hate to change to central. i'd rather they just leave us alone with our stupid state (along with parts of Arizona I believe) and let it be.

It gets dark SO freaking early. BOOO! It's one of my least favorite days of the year, actually.

27. Me.
The scenery is gorgeous. There are tons of hills where I live, and they turn all shades of red and gold. Plus, it's not too hot, hot too cold.

Perfection.

28. I love it. From 110 to 90, the palms losing their leaves....
God I miss the East coast seasons. The smells of the fall, the change in the air.

Here it just goes from brutal hot to warm. No seasonal smells.
