Thinking more about it.....I do prefer to go with DST all year round. I really don't want to have sunrise at 4:30 am in the summer which standard time would do. That is just too early for light in the sky and that is what will happen with standard time in the summer. Also.....standard time would give us sunset at 7:30 pm in the summer.
