I love daylight saving time. I'd run it all year. Hell, I'd

it's still light out at seven in the evening.


Meeeee Tooooo!

I've been listening to the radio, and all the usual po-faced
bellyachers, and fusspot economists have been trotting out the usual
mataeological piss points and pointless objections to daylight saving
time. I keep wondering why they never talk to people like me or you
who take such deep and satisfying joy in having hours of daylight when
we can use them. I get as excited about the first day of Daylight
Saving Time as I do Christmas.



It all depends on your perspective. For a business that runs 24X7, switching is
a big pain, especially if you have geographies that don't change. (Meeting times
can get screwed up, depending on who did the scheduling.)

Although I love the fact that I can actually work out in the yard when I get
home from work, I would be just as happy having the extra daylight very early in
the AM (since I'm an early riser.)
