Love it, exempt from it, or hate it, here's a good site about Daylight
Savings
Time:

Including Ben Franklin's original essay from 1784...
http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/franklin3.html

And some interesting opposition...
...A writer in 1947 wrote, "I don't really care how time is reckoned so
long as
there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am
saving
daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I
even
object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay
in bed
after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy
insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the
back of
the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of
Puritanism,
eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
them
healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves." (Robertson Davies, The
Diary
of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947, XIX, Sunday.)

Personally, I'm glad to get back to Standard Time, and the longer
stargazing
hours it heralds.
Happy Cross-Quarter (Halloween)!
