It’s not changing the clocks that bothers me, it’s the loss of daylight in the late afternoon/evening. I’m not an early morning person so there is no advantage to the sun coming up earlier, just the disadvantage of it getting dark our earlier. I suppose those that are early risers have a different point of view. Moving the clocks back is especially painful for us part timers stuck up north this time of the year. The sun sets a full hour earlier at or northern home compared to the Villages, and in mid December the sun sets at the ridiculously early time of 4:18 In the afternoon.
