I lived in Pensacola for six years and they are in Central Time. I loved it because we had more afternoon daylight. I played on a softball team and the 6pm games didn't need to be under the lights so much. The 10pm TV shows came on at 9pm. Even the late shows, at the time Johnny Carson would be on at 10:30 instead of 11:30. The only negative, which is why they go back to standard time during the school year, is kids going to school walking or waiting for a bus will be in the dark more often. Just think of all the outside activities and if it didn't get dark at 5pm, but at 6pm instead and how better it would be in the winter months. There's nothing more gloomy for me as it was when it started getting dark while you're on your way home from work and you've got to stop at the grocery store, or the cleaners or whatever..
