DST is awesome. Now I can bike, run, or walk the dog after work in daylight (as long as the temperature cooperates). DST is so great, I don't understand why regular time exists anymore...just get rid of it! The USA should be the anti-Arizona and refuse to recognize regular time. Actually there is a part of AZ that follows DST...a donut-shaped part. Turns out the Navajo Nation observes DST while the Hopi Reservation, which is completely contained within the Navajo Nation, doesn't. Interesting.
Another interesting DST story:
Terrorists (on DST) prepared time bombs and smuggled them to their counterparts (just switched back to standard time). As the bombs were being planted, they exploded, an hour too early, killing three terrorists instead of the intended victims.
Not the most upbeat story, but sweet, ironic justice none the less. Check out other interesting DST history and facts at WebExhibits.
