I have always hated
when Daylight Savings Time ended, marking the beginning of cold
weather and worse the beginning of the 5:00 shadow of gloom. Like
a lot of people I need sun to maintain some level of sanity pure
and simple. But year after year we must endure the end of
October, beginning of November melancholy because we have no say
in it.
I stumbled across this article which appears to be in agreement
with me but on a scientific level. Maybe the time has come to end
turning back the clocks come the season of Halloween (Isn't it
ironic that earlier darkness befalls around Halloween?), allowing
us one more full hour of precious light. thinkingblue

For 2010, the ‘Daylight Saving Time’ (DST) for
Americans and Canadians is set to end on November 7. DST is
the practice of going fast forward in time. Do not get
flummoxed, clocks in US and Canada are advanced temporarily
so that afternoons get a larger share of daylight and the
mornings get way less. DST is an energy conservation exercise
where usually, clocks are advanced by about an hour at the
onset of spring and are then adjusted backward when fall
approaches. http://thebrilliantstories.com/daylight-saving-time-ends-for-2010/453092/
(You can fall back to regular time, labeled as "Standard
Time" on November 7, 2010)

We really need more dialog from those at the top... The
Republicans have got to be made to realize they can't hide behind
"NO" any longer! thinkingblue
