I wholeheartedly agree with you about the false illusions of daylight saving. I too miss the summer evenings when the evening should be evening and not the dreaded lingering, hot daylight into 9:00 pm. I lived many years in the deserts of the Middle East and they have enough sense not to change their clocks into daylight saving time. They want the hot sun to go down so they can go out and enjoy the cool breezes of the evening.
