The US did try to turn metric many years ago, without real success. The 
auto industry has gone to many metric sized bolts and nuts, but I still 
need both metric and US sized wrenches - it makes my toolbox much heavier!

As far as time goes, My preference would be to stay on Daylight Saving 
Time, but many will not agree depending on which side to our time zone 
that we are located.  I personally prefer the extended evening light and 
wake up much after sunrise.  Here in the middle on North Carolina, on 
Standard Time, it gets dark enough to turn the lights on at 4 PM, and 
the sun wakes me at about 7AM right now.  I am not a 'morning person' 
and am retired so I don't have reason to get up early in the morning.  
Those further West in the time zone will have other opinions.  Those 
further North have more twilight time than we do here, so 'it all depends'.

73,
Don W3FPR
