Time Waits For No One. Fall Back.

Four more days until we are back on standard time. Will someone please explain to me how we are saving energy by the one week extention? The days are so short now, it is dark when you get up and dark at dinnertime. Unless some of you are showering in the dark or eating by candlelight, I can't account for a savings.
I miss the longer days as the colder months approach.
I took advantage of the nice weather today to walk downtown to pick up a few items at the Co-op. I don't think I would have done that a year ago. Climbing up those hills would have done me in.
