Daylight Savings Time

I mean it's not already bad enough to put a timer on our lives... but people just had to start adjusting it...

During WWII the U.S. was on permanent daylight savings time from 1942-1945. They called it "War Time". Probably to help with war production efforts. When reading about it, the article said the farmers were not happy with it. My grandfather managed a large dairy farm during the war and they milked the cows three times a day. Don't know if it helped milk production or not?
 
I am in the camp that prefers the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. Use to be, I was never up before daylight no matter what clock we were on. Now, I am up at 4:30, but never having any fun at that hour, so I don't care how long it stays dark. I would prefer DST all year, in preference to Daylight Wasting Time.
 
I seem to remember back in the 1970s there was an extension of Daylight Saving Time to save energy. But when winter came and children were walking to school or the bus stop when it was pitch black out the parents weren't too happy.
 
As one Navajo man put, it seems crazy - like cutting off the top part of a blanket and sewing it on the bottom, and then doing the reverse every now and then.

I asked my uncle if he and my aunt moved the piece of the blanket back to its original spot last night. He said they did, and that they put zippers on each end of the blanket to make it easier to change.
 
Between the Mtn's surrounding us and DST, 5;50pm and its dark already.Ugh.

Than again a few months from now even worse. Dark by 4:30 PM.

Interesting, considering the Navajo Rez is the only place in Arizona that has it (I assume because it covers more than one state).
