My brother argues that we'd get a lot more buy-in for the "spring forward" part of this if the springing forward happened at 4pm on a Friday... because then all of a sudden it'd be time to head home or hit happy hour.
In the fall, my dad used to keep the clocks on daylight time until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon, then fell back to, in a sense, replay an extra hour of Sunday afternoon. But with most of the clocks around me now automatically adjusting it's harder pull that one off.
Five minutes before reading this, I was reading a thread on physicsforums.com on one way speed of light and how its a matter of time conventions. I was thinking it would be weird if your post went in that direction.
Good article. I find myself persuaded by your argument about summer evenings and winter mornings. (And I know what you mean about walking dogs in the dark.)

Did you mean winter mornings?
Yes. Fixed now.
