You were saying ...

I wish we would just stay on the same time all year.

Some people might say so, but others won't... :-)

For example, in Oregon, with Daylight Saving Time, it's almost like having another "day" (for activities) after you get off work, because of Daylight Saving Time. You've got enough daylight left in the day, after work, to actually do some outdoor activities, before it gets dark. And people do take advantage of that.

The alternative would be that you couldn't get off work early (if it was still standard time), and then you would think twice about any activities outside, after work, because the amount of daylight would be limited.

So, for people up there in Oregon, you get quite a bit of extra time. I say that, because compared to Oklahoma, in Oregon, there's about one hour a day more daylight than in Oklahoma, so it makes a bigger difference in Oregon.

I like Daylight savings...I wish we would stay on this time all year long.

I love the extra time in the evenings. DH and I go walking after dinner more often because it's still light outside.
