So this is a quick post to place my vote on the recent changes to daylight savings time.  When it comes to movng it earlier in spring back toward Febuary, that works for me. 

However, moving it from the last Saturday in October to the first Saturday in November messes with Halloween.  Instead of it getting dark an hour earlier so that the Trick or Treaters get out earlier and finish earlier - everyone waits for dark to fall and the result is: Trick or Treaters are out for almost an hour later at night.

I know that some will say that having the sun out makes trick or treating safer but as was shown tonight - that is only true if people change the habit of waiting till dark.  We didn't base our trick or treating when I was growing up on a time, we based it on sunlight -when it was gone we got to go out.  So don't make up alot of claims about safety, the reality is this is one of the few nights (July 4th is another) when kids get to go out after dark.  And as I recall we kids love that aspect of it.  So instead of everyone being done by 7:30 or 8 they are finishing up around 9, meaning they are out later which is in my opinion a bigger risk. 

So with all due respect, to everyone's claims of non-existant energy savings and safety, put daylight savings time back to ending at the end of October, Thanks
