I believe it had something to do with farming. Without daylight savings
time, when the kids got home from school, they didn't have as much time to
help Ma and Pa in the fields. When you make the end of the day one hour
longer, you can squeeze a couple extra acres of plowing.

I think things are different when you have kids.  If you have four kids in
four different bedrooms, you can get them all up and open the shades/blinds
and not have to turn on the lights.  And you don't need to turn on the
lights in the kitchen.  You also don't have to use the lights on the car.
Things like that.

I don't know, just my opinion.  Someone go google it.  :)

Exatly, maybe I am a little earlier of a riser than some folks, but when you
think of it, when you get up you are likely going to switch on the bedroom
light, and the bathroom light.  Now, the bathroom is going to be on
reguardless of the daylight.  Maybe you might be able to go w/o the bedroom
in the winter if you were a late riser.  there is no way for me to pull that
off.  I am up at 5:45am, and from October to March that means it's dark when
I get up.  If using DST, i get up an hour later, that may make it more like
Nov-Feb.  Still even in the wee hours of the morning (sunrise) though I
would turn on my lights to pick out my cloths from the pile on the floor.
Thus it's basically the same.

Basically, I don't see it as a power savings in the morning, and there can
be no disagreement that it uses more power in the evening.  I think this
argument has been debunked.  Myth Busted.

SHO content:  I notice that I am much more encouraged to drive the red
(quiet) car to work vs the green (loud) one in the morning... but on my way
home, I generally think opposite.  Must be that loud noises in the morning
scare me :)
