Daylight Saving Time

[glenc (Glen)]

It will be better for observing next week, dark an hour earlier.
It will not be dark at 6:30 am, better for the morning walk.
The international airlines must hate the way DST starts on different days in different countries and states.

I love Daylight Savings. What's the point of the sun shining in spring before 5:00 in the morning when most people are still sleeping? It's such a waste.

Also it allows me to have surfs after work as usually it'll get dark quite soon. The only problem I have is when they change it as I have to make sure all our servers and workstations at work have the latest patch so that they change their times automatically.

Who really cares anyway ...........just put your clock back tonight and all will be forgiven.


Cheers Kev.

I think you'll find most people aren't sleeping at 5am in spring in WA. An awful lot of folks are actually up early in the spring/summer months enjoying the coolest hours of the day, having a walk, riding their bikes or going for a swim. Moving that hour to the end of the day is really stealing that time from them - when it is "naturally" theirs in the first place, and very regularly used.

No, no, no, no, no, no! How many times will we have to vote it out, before it is forever gone here in the west?

Cheers,
