Hence, upsetting the "natural rhythm" of things.

lol...this conversation could continue until the end of time and nothing would
change. There will be those who think DST serves no purpose and those that
think it does.  Having more daylight at the end of the day serves no purpose
for me. As I work Mon-Fri, I do all my outdoor things on the weekend. I like
to get an early start on mowing, etc. so having to wait until the sun is up
enough to see is ridiculous.
