I hate the darkness. The only good reason for the darkness of night is that it eventually gives us beautiful sunrises and sunsets and those blazing ice cream skies.

Darkness also cheats me out of more daylight hours to enjoy the outdoors in the sunlight. So I’m excited at the news that the U.S. Senate recently voted unanimously to extend daylight saving time through the entire year. If approved by the House of Representatives and president, daylight saving time would be permanent.
