Daylight Savings Time

It's early November, the first Sunday of the month, so that means tonight most of the United States will be setting their clocks back one hour. In theory that means we get an extra hour's sleep....in reality it means I just stay up an hour longer.
Which brings me to my thought for the day....well, more a question really. Why is it called Daylight Savings Time? I mean it's not like you can gather up the extra light and put it aside for a long, grey winter afternoon when you could really use some extra sun. Nor can you set that time aside in some other-worldly bank account to be drawn upon the next time your family is having company and you just need another hour or two to get everything ready before they arrive.
So, what then are we saving it for?
I would suggest it be used immediately for one more game of dodge ball in the backyard as dusk is falling on a late July evening. Or perhaps to enjoy just a little more time walking under a red-stained, arching Wyoming sky. Use your extra hour to give a few more hugs to your kids, tell a couple more friends how much you cherish them, or roast a couple more marshmallows.
That hour should be enough for another walk around the block with your significant other, for the construction of one more snowman with a snow angel beside him to keep him company. Use that valuable 60 minutes to consider the wonder of this world we have and the glorious Father and Elder Brother who gave it to us.
However you use that hour that's been saved, make it count.
Probably not the government's reason why we have Daylight Savings Time, but that's how I'd like to use it.
