Default The time change
I wish we could go on one time, and stay on it year round!

My dog thinks it’s time to get up 1 hour earlier.
She wants to eat lunch 1 hour earlier.

I hate changing all the clocks in the house, in our car, and on our golf carts.

What else?

I agree with the caveat that we would go to Daylight time year around. I hate when it gets dark at 5PM or earlier. I have no problem getting up in the dark, and in fact, do it often year round. JMHO

The kids at the bus stop are not standing in the dark, and safer for it

Many end up walking in the dusk — much more dangerous.

It doesn’t help that today is cloudy and dreary.

If TV were nearer to the Equator, it would get dark at 6 pm, then we wouldn't have to go through this.

Just give them time we will be there sooner than expected.

This means that Happy Hour begins an hour sooner. Doesn't it?

If it really the problem you say it is why not just keep your clocks and your schedule on standard time? At least your dog will thank you, right? .
