Yes, but, it won't do that all year long. It seems to be only the winter months for the most part when northerners really aren't going outdoors like they do in the summer. I tend to feel that standard time is quite a workable compromise. In a little over a month now, the days will start to get longer and that is something we have to deal with anyway. However, like I said, there is the same amount of daylight per day no matter when we decide to formally observe it. At it's longest we are only talking about it getting dark an hour earlier during the summer. Drive in movies and fireworks can start earlier. The fun of a campfire can also start earlier time wise. There is no where near the need for the change for farmers like before, because new technology has cut a lot of hours from their day. They still have to work too many, but, they can get more rest if they have to stop an hour earlier.
