Daylight Saving Time people still debate why we do it, and I'm happy to chalk it up as just one of those mysteries of the universe that's just out there. Uh, you know, the sun doesn't care what time you call it; the plants don't care. And here we are with more sunlight at the end of the day.

Day and then the days get shorter. Daylight time gets shorter, and just when you want more sunlight, we take away the daylight saving time in the winter. Don't you want that extra hour when you have less hours of light at the end of the day? So that's a bit of a mystery to me. I don't really understand it.

In Arizona, they have enough sun. No one said we need more sun, so Arizona just said no. There is no last I checked, no daylight savings time in Arizona. So it's certainly not an astrophysical decision to create daylight saving time, especially since we create our own light. In Ben Franklin's day, they had like gas lamps, maybe not even that, just oil lamps.

So we're no longer so slaved to the rhythms of the sun and moon. The sun and moon, no, they no longer need to matter to us as we schedule our day. It seems to me we've outlived the usefulness of daylight saving time.
