I dislike Daylight Saving Time intensely. In this day and age of artificial light, it has no bearing on our ability to work. However, there is a real psychological lift for us early risers in watching the sunrise get earlier each morning. As soon as the clocks are reset, we go back to getting up and going to work in the dark. Plus who needs federally mandated jet-lag twice a year. I wake up naturally at about 5:00, and after time changes it takes me weeks to reset my internal clock.

I am told that the DST season used to be shorter, but was expanded in response to pressure from the beef and charcoal grill lobby....more evening daylight meant more burgers and steaks on the grill. Life in America!
