Don’t forget to set your clocks back tonight. Today is the last day of Daylight Saving Time 2021 and we get one whole hour of extra time. Use it wisely, folks.

19 states say we should all just spring forward
Every state except Hawaii and Arizona currently observes daylight saving time. But each year, more states say it's time to stop futzing with the clock and embrace daylight saving time year-round.
"In the last four years, 19 states have enacted legislation or passed resolutions to provide for year-round daylight saving time, if Congress were to allow such a change," according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Momentum seems to be building: Between 2015 and 2019, 29 states introduced legislation to abolish resetting the clocks, according to the Department of Transportation, which is in charge of time zones and daylight saving.
States backing the change range from Florida to Washington. Some states have said they would link a potential switch to decisions on DST by their closest neighbors, hoping to minimize disruptions in regions such as the Midwest and New England.
None of those states can act without an act of Congress — and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has repeatedly introduced legislation to do that. His Sunshine Protection Act is currently stuck at the committee level.
U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam do not currently observe daylight saving.

I will miss the dark mornings.
I have one clock in the garage and one in the house that need to be reset for this. Also the oven and microwave. Everything else does it automatically.
I vote for staying on Standard time year round. No clocking changing twice a year and thus the elimination of DST. I would rather have a little more daylight early in the day during the winter months. Seems to work out well in AZ.

If you live up north and need more daylight hours then do what the rest of the snowbirds do and head south.

I think that if most New Englanders had their preference, we would just switch to the Atlantic Time Zone (same as the Canadian Maritimes) and never observe Daylight Savings time again.

When I am absolute ruler of the world, we will switch our clocks one time, by 30 minutes, to put us halfway between standard time and DST.
