Wait, why do we observe it up here? Farmers in the valley who need the extra hour for planting?
No evening golfers ?
I rather doubt farmers reap any benefit from time changing, unless tilting the earth at the equator is involved.

The rationale for extending the date in the fall is to give kids a chance to trick or treat after school while there's still daylight.
With that in mind, I'd like to propose a modest change in the daylight savings rules: Suspend daylight savings time for every day of the year except Halloween.

Isn't Halloween supposed to be spooooooooooooky?
I am enjoying the extra evening hour to finish some yard work and auto repair. I guess I'd better get cracking for the rest of this week.

The reason we have extended daylight savings time is due to retail sales. It seems that people shop more in the evening when it's still light out.

Just about everyone prefers more daylight in the evening.
MAKE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME PERMANENT - all year round that is.
