I was just reading comments to a question put forth by TBC about the benefits, or lack of, of changing the time twice a year to gain more daylight.  I have to chuckle when I read things like that since it's Mother Nature who determines the number of daylight hours and not man. I also have to wonder what the benefit is to getting up in the dark as opposed to sitting around in the dark in the evenings.    I realize that the late daylight benefits merchants and gardeners but where is the real benefit?  If I had my druthers, I'd opt for keeping the DST as I really do enjoy the longer evenings.  On the other hand, I love the early morning hours which I tend to lose with DST. It's odd how our perception of time works.  Five in the evening to eleven at night when the average person goes to bed (my statistic..not official) is the same number of hours and yet it seems interminable during December as opposed to the blink of an eye in June. TV in December...
