Why not make DLST the norm?

What time is it?
I found myself looking at the clock several times Monday and saying it can’t be that time already.
Well the annual jump to Daylight Savings Time took place last weekend and now comes the annual jet lag that seems to take me days to get rid of.
In the newspaper business we are always dealing with time that is often very regimented.
On Monday’s that is especially true as we take all the work from the previous six days and turn it from a gathering stage into a final product for you to read every Tuesday.
I can tell you by what time of the day it is by what I am doing on a Monday; providing no monkey

wrenches are thrown into the day. But the day after the time change I find myself second guessing the clock as my mind and body feel like they are on time but the clock says I am an hour behind.
Next year the time change will get closer to becoming the standard as we go to it earlier and keep it longer in the fall. I don’t know why they just don’t make Day Light Savings Time permanent. Soon it will be the standard for about 2/3 of the year.
If it was permanent I would not have to go through jet lag twice a year.
–Until then,
