I like it myself. It gives me nice long evenings in the summer. Mid-June
through 4th of July, when it doesn't get dark until almost 10PM, you get 2/3
of fun-in-sun-day on each work-day. That's cool.

During World War I, in an effort to conserve fuel needed to produce electric
power, Germany and Austria took time by the forelock, and began saving
daylight at 11 p.m. on the 30th of April, 1916, by advancing the hands of
the clock one hour until the following October. This 1916 action was
immediately followed by other countries in Europe, Belgium, Denmark, France,
Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey, as
were Tasmania, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba. Britian began 3 weeks later, on 21
May 1916. In 1917, Australia, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia initiated it.
