Today, we have ~8 mos of DST and ~4 mos of regular time. If we're already at DST 2/3 of the time...

^^^ Those that want it year round most likely live in warmer areas I think.
Staying light later in the winter months here...is not needed.

I don’t really care now that I’m retired, but when I was working, I would have rather had it light in the evening so I could get something done after work.

Wasn't the main reason for not keeping DST longer in the year because of school kids being in the dark mornings at the bus stops?

Living here in South Alaska, it's going to be dark pretty much until March. But on the bright side (no pun intended) we get about 15-16 hours of daylight each day in June and July.
DST doesn't phase me at all. But living at 47 degrees north sure has highs and lows.

I guess it's the kind that you can get a shot to fix...

I went biking this afternoon wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
