Time Check

Daylight savings ends 1 November this year. Largely a political coordination of a nation's working daylight hours, springing ahead one hour in spring and falling back that hour in fall adds nothing to the amount of daylight we can use. Rather, pushing and pulling on clocks by convention merely shifts our activities more to natural lighting. No bank exists for saved daylight.
Also, saving daylight matters only to people living outside of the tropics, in higher latitudes where from winter to summer and back again significant change in daylight occurs where people live, more so in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and northern Russia. The relative few who live north of the Arctic Circle see the most change, as daylight either never ends or never arrives each day as the seasons progress. All of the fuss of tinkering with daylight comes from the earth's tilted axis. If the axis were always perpendicular to the sun, no seasons or changes in daylight would disturb our day.
Here at 42 degrees north latitude, sunsets now come a bit after 6 pm, whereas on 1 November, by an act of Congress, a bit after 5 pm. Ready?
