Re: Daylight Savings
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Daylight savings time infuriates me. Darkness at 5 pm sucks. In 2007 the dates for observing DST will change. [/ QUOTE ] Yea but you don't actually lose an hour of daylight, it just gets moved up an hour earlier. I don't think it's a big deal. Next year I believe it's being moved to the first week of November. Ohhh... that's going to make a big diffence. Like Bush has nothing better else to do than change DST. [/ QUOTE ] I know that we don't actually lose an hour of daylight, I just prefer it to not get dark early. [/ QUOTE ] Oh OK. I just mentioned it because I know some people who believe we actually lose an hour of daylight. No matter how often I try to explain it, they fail to comprehend it. [/ QUOTE ] clearly we do lose some amount of daylight. not that it happens overnight though.

Re: Daylight Savings
Why is Arizona the only place that doesnt change their clocks? It messes me up being from the midwest all my life!

A friend of mine is a meterologist in Tempe. He told me the reason is because it gets so hot there that if they changed it, temps. would still be over 100 at 10 PM. Basically, it's nighttime during the coolest hours there. He also told me they won't change it next year.

[/ QUOTE ] Acutally, we will have darkness at 5pm because daylingt saving(s) time is ending. Actually, IMO only 8 hours of daylight sucks regardless of whether you get up in the dark or go home in the dark, but that's the way it works so the only way around it is to move to the tropics, where it's close to 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness year-round, or chase summer back and forth between the hemispheres.

Re: Daylight Savings
I heard it was only the States changing the daylight saving time? Canada is considering following suit too, but it's still up in the air. Won't this mess with timezone shifting too?
"Lets see, New york is 8 hours behind paris; But since it's November 3, we must be 7 hours behind for the next 5 days until we revert to 'normal' time and get back into the 8 hour zone"* *All numbers were made up in haste, because I didn't bother to work out any logistics of this, but you can see my point.

Re: Daylight Savings
[ QUOTE ]
I'm sad that there are people this dumb. [/ QUOTE ] Yes. I actually had a girlfriend once who had no idea how the phases of the moon work. At some point, for some reaon or other, we were talking about the moon and she asked, "Can't you have a full moon one night and no moon the next night?". I dumped her shortly after this. There were other reasons, but the moon thing was definitely a factor.
