DST

People always complain about Daylight Savings Time when what they're really complaining about is changing from Standard Time to DST and back.

The problem with staying on one time all year round is made evident the farther north you go (up to a certain point -- I've been to Fairbanks, Alaska, in June, and there's not much to be done except blackout curtains when it stays light all night long, trust me). If we stayed on Daylight Savings Time all year round in Seattle, it would not get light until well after nine a.m. in December. This sucks eggs. If we stayed on Standard Time all year round at this latitude, it would get light before four a.m. in June. This also sucks eggs.

An hour's time change twice a year is a small price to pay in comparison.

So, please, just get over it [wry g].

Thanks!

I don't think so. Esp. that bit about crises...

You were born during a Third Quarter moon

- what it says about you -


You test everything. You're sometimes unhappy with what others think is "good enough". You pointing out things you see wrong with the world, even if others are afraid it may cause some unrest. When something isn't right, you're the one who's not afraid to make dramatic changes. You're good at keeping your head in a crisis and reminding people that it takes a shakeup to fix things.
