Re: [Utah-astronomy] time.gov website updated
You could just go to work an hour earlier, I suppose. After all, you are one of the bosses. ------------------------------ On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 11:46 AM MDT Chuck Hards wrote:
That would be sad. One of the things I love best about summer is the late sunsets. Helps me get a lot more done. Without DST, I'll lose 6-7 hours per week of outdoor activity time. Dang.

I heard this morning on the radio that Utah is considering going off daylight savings time. This might be the last year we "spring ahead"!

I already start at 5 AM. The owners discourage starts much earlier than that. ;-) On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 11:55 AM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com>wrote:

If they are going to stop switching, I think it would be best to stay with DST and just not switch back. I think it gives the better balance through the year.

Absolutely, Dave, I would agree with that. Years ago, when I worked in a darkroom, in winter I would get to work before sunrise, and head home after sundown. Sometimes the only sunlight I was exposed to was if I went out for lunch. And the winter inversions here often meant no sun even then. Sundown closer to 6 than 5, in winter, would be wonderful.

Growing up in Oregon, our ranch was just about 100 miles from the PTZ/MTZ border. So. when Dad kept his watch on PST, he would just tell folks that, for the duration of the time change, he was on MST. I hand milked up to 5 cows, and he was right. The cows knew when it was time to be milked and they would amble up and gather at the milking shed. I never appreciated the difference till I left home and had a chance to enjoy the longer daylight. And, not having electric lighting, it got dark enough in the house, you might as well go to bed anyway. Joe, I do remember, when working at the Freeport Center, getting up in the dark and coming home in the dark. I did have a window, so was not as confined as you. Now, I just get up in a fog, and go home in a fog! Might as well be in 'Frisco. 73
