The shift from Daylight Saving Time to Eastern Standard Time is really nothing more than a minor adjustment in our everyday lives. Think of it this way: now our days and nights divide a little differently according to sunrise and sunset, lighter in early morning, darker in early evening. Some like it and some don't. Early risers welcome the bright mornings; it helps schoolchildren, farmers and milk cows. But many will miss the long and slow fade of twilight along the Vineyard shoreline.
