Re: Extending Daylights Saving Time by 4 Weeks in America is....
I understand the historical underpinnings, but it still makes little sense to me to add an hour of daylight (at the end of the day) in the summer, when days are so long anyway, rather than in the winter, when around here it gets dark around 4 or 4:30 p.m. in late December. I could use that extra hour of daylight at the end of the standard (9-5) workday, to get home before dark, in the winter. To me, extra darkness in the morning is no big deal, as that time is invariably spent indoors, getting me & the family ready to venture forth (morning ablutions, breakfast, packing up lunches, backpacks, and briefcases, etc.), while the end of the day time is more often spent outdoors.
Just my 2 cents.
