Ouch. 4:30 and the sun's already gone. If there's one thing that I hate about winter, it's losing daylight savings. Looks like it might even set before 4 come December. It seems to be earlier and earlier every year.

Cats and dogs, living together...
It is nice, though, that it's light when I take the dog out in teh morning. At least for the moment. Downside is that it actually wakes me up. When it's dark, I can go out, he can do his business, and I can still be asleep.

The sunlight in the morning is a nice start to the day for sure. The problem is it's dark when I get out of work :angry:

The one good thing about it being dark at 5:00 is that at least there aren't as many solar delays on the commute home...skibum1321 said:

I usually struggle with adjusting to DST changes, but this Fall, it hasn't been too bad...

I hit way more delays on the commute home last night. For some reason everyone seemed to be struggling with driving in the dark. Stupid Massholes - I wanna move back to VT.hammer said:The one good thing about it being dark at 5:00 is that at least there aren't as many solar delays on the commute home...skibum1321 said:

I feel your pain, though. Been doing the Rt. 3 shuffle for many years, had a lot of hope with the expansion, but it didn't help enough. :x
As far as the DST changes are concerned, I tend to have more problems in the spring than in the fall. Waking up in the morning is tough when your body thinks it's 4:30 AM...
Changes for 2006:
For the past several years we have sprung ahead on the first Sunday in April (used to be last Sunday) & Fallen Back on the last Sunday in October
In 70's energy crisis they changed earlier but kids were waiting for buses in dark & walking to school in dark
Nexy year we Spring ahead in Winter 03/12/2006 & will fall back on the first Sunday in November.
If I was a skier, I'd be whining about places being open until 5:00 or 5:30 after 03/12, there will be more sun.
