Having the extra hour of daylight in summer is very beneficial to me, as during the summer months, I get to sit on my deck after work and have a beer while I grill my steak while it's still daylight.
In the winter time, I don't care that it's dark when I end work. It's too cold to be outside anyhow.
I know Arizona doesn't do the time change but they are hot and sunny almost all year round so what do they care about the extra hour to grill a steak and have a beer? They do that all the time anyhow. In the frigid Northeast, we aren't that lucky. So let us have our extra hour of daylight, thank you very much.
I rejoice when we return to standard time. When I got up this morning, it seemed like the middle of the night. Tomorrow, I will get up with the sun.
Arizona (even the desert part) isn’t hot “almost all year round”. In fact, right now and until next April, it is absolutely gorgeous here and we can go out and have a beer and grill a steak any time. This doesn’t even include the large area of high country that has fall colors and snowy winters. Come and visit sometime.
