Of course we could also have schools and bussinesses open an hour later. I agree we should choose one or the other and stick with it.
Joe, 22 years ago, I worked in downtown SLC, in the "concrete canyons".
During the winter, I arrived at work in the morning in the dark, and went home in the early evening, in the dark. Lunchtime was the only time I had a chance of getting any daylight in my life, for a week at a time. And if I had to work through lunch (a common occurrance), there went that opportunity.
I always longed for Daylight time through the dead of winter, just so I could have an hour of daylight after work.
And BTW, I worked in a darkroom back then!

Hear, hear. I fully agree. Maybe we should start a drive to "turn back the clock" -- making it a reasonable instrument instead of a political device. I really can't understand the reason for the time change. It's a ridiculous exercise apparently intended to goof up our internal clocks twice a year. jb
Actually, in light of the typical buisness/school day, I would prefer Daylight Saving Time year-round. Standard Time is the silly time- especially from mid-November to about mid-February.
