Day Light Savings Rocks

I'm looking out the window at 7pm and it's still light out. Thank gawd!! For those of you in the world where the sun is never up past 6, I pity you. Living on the equator, you have no idea what it means to have daylight well into the evening hours, but it is one of my favourite things about summer. There's so much to do when it's warm outside that it seems imperative that we have more sun in which to do it. I guess at the equator, you have summer all year, so you don't have to cram all of your outdoor activities into the few months of the year with temperatures over 20, but north of the 49, daylight savings time means that the World on its axis is just being fair. The great equalizer. We have -30 degree winters, but at least the sun's up past dinner-time for most of the year!

Or at least *now* it's most of the year. I never thought I'd say this, but thank-you George Bush. With daylight savings earlier it means that it's 7pm and I still don't have to turn the lights on. In March. Fan-freakin-tastic.

So it's coming. Tomorrow is supposed to be 14 degrees and sunset's not until 7:30ish. The weather, I'm sure, is a tease, but the sun never lies... Winter has an end. Spring is coming.

Wahoo!
