Biking after sunset

After it got dark yesterday, I took my bike on about a three mile ride. It was exhilarating! On the way back, I noticed a ball game was going on in the park with the lights on. I also noticed a backyard party with outdoor flood lights illuminating the event. I thought if the sun had set at 6:12 p.m. Mountain Standard Time instead of 7:12 p.m., people would still be able to enjoy the same events. We don't need government coerced clock-changing to have a great time. The bike ride went very well, even in the dark. It would have been much more desireable to have a 6:23 a.m. sunrise to make it a much less dreary morning. We don't need daylight-saving time, we can manage very well, and even thrive, without it!
