Daylight Savings Outdated?

Greetings all, sorry for the delay I've been stuck traveling a lot for my job lately.

Update about the biz: I've gotten a few more leads and am tracking them down, other than that no real bites at the moment.

Update on general career: A possible new position has opened up, so we'll see how the interview process goes. If so, things could definitely start improving for us, and a Yeah God would be in order. ;)

Random Thought of the Day:
Is Daylight Savings outdated?

I would say the answer for most Americans that it is a resounding, Yes. I would argue to keep us on Daylight time (summer) rather than Standard time (winter). I don't know about where you are but here in Oregon the winters tend to be long, wet and gloomy (strangely enough as a native Oregonian, I normally like it--well the rain at any rate) and an hour of daylight after work would be wonderful. Otherwise, we tend to be stuck with it being dark out when we leave for work and dark out when we get home. Thankfully in my current position, I have an office with a view, so I can enjoy the daylight, however most of my career that has not been the case, and it can definitely start to get you down by the end of the week.

I would also argue that the past arguments for daylight savings have primarily been rendered moot at this point. Farmers plow, etc in the dark just as often in the daylight anymore and for most other jobs there doesn't appear to be a good reasoning for it as those positions that require daylight tend to adjust their schedules to match it regardless.

Any thoughts?
