Often referred to as "standard time," daylight wastings time requires that people set their clocks back an hour in autumn so that the sun will set earlier in mid-afternoon. Then, in the spring, when people return their clocks to true time (a.k.a. daylight savings time), people are forced to get up an hour earlier and lose an hour of precious weekend/sleep time.
Morning Person: I'm so glad we're returning to STANDARD time. I can't STAND getting up when it's dark outside.
Night person: Oh, you mean daylight wastings time? Doesn't it bother you that the sun now sets at 4:30 and the days are still getting shorter.
Morning person: No, I go to bed long before then, so I don't know when the sun sets.
Morning person: I'm so glad we're returning to daylight savings time. I was starting to feel like the day was half over by the time work starts at 8:00 AM.
Night person: I'm glad to be off of daylight wastings time, but now I have to get up an hour earlier. Why can't we just leave our clocks set to true time (a.k.a. daylight savings time) without playing practical jokes on my circadian rhythm?

Get the dead man walking mug.It's a city full of hubris. Stinky, vile, disgusting hubris. Even the low-level government workers, actors, camera crews, reporters and teachers are full of themselves. Worst place in the world to live.

Get the Washington DC mug.A town lying on the Missouri River of roughly 14,000 people that's probably the most conservative, Catholic place on the planet. There's a grand total of about ten different last names in the area, all of clear German origin, that aren't heard anywhere else.
It has two high schools: Washington High School is the largest and the the only public high school, while St. Francis Borgia High School is a small Catholic high school that tends to consist of students from more higher-income families. But this does not mean people there are stuck-up or snobbish.
The town is almost completely white, and many people will do a double take when they see a person from a different ethnicity there.
The county (Franklin) has a terrible problem with methamphetamine, but as I'm not a druggie, I don't have any experience with it. I guess that could be a plus about this town for some people, however…
Overall, this is a nice town that I'm happy to live in. The overwhelming Catholic influence can get a bit annoying at times, but for the most part, I have no qualms about Washington.
