Making A Stand

Here we are on the last week of Daylight Savings Time. What is that?!? I know that it was all set up as a type of "summer bonus", but I'm not really sure why we don't just stay on Daylight Savings Time. Is there anyone who really likes it the other way? Who really wants that extra hour in the morning? It's cold, dreary, snowy, rainy...and one less hour of sunlight!Driving home in the dark every evening- yes that is what I need to feel fulfilled.
Arizona does not participate in Daylight Savings Time. I always found this to be odd. On one hand I respect the "go-it-alone" attitude, but on the other hand, it just seems a strange place to make a stand. They are willing to play with all the other states on other things: Interstate shipping, voting dates, constitution... "but don't touch our clocks!"

It's odd until you spend one afternoon in Arizona. Holy Hot Batman!! It's not human! At that point, it makes sense to get the sun down at the earliest possible hour.

Now what I think Arizona should do is have Daylight Savings Time in the winter. Imagine this: January- 80 degrees and...an extra hour to play golf!

Now that's making a stand!
