I like Daylight savings...I wish we would stay on this time all year long.

I love the extra time in the evenings. DH and I go walking after dinner more often because it's still light outside.

You were saying ...

I love the extra time in the evenings. DH and I go walking after dinner more often because it's still light outside.

Exactly so... that's why people like it. For this time of year, it gives them more time, after the day's work is done, to do things "in the daylight" instead of it being dark (and thus, not doing things they would otherwise do).

A little story... one time I drove up (and took a ferry) to Prince Rupert. Now, the first day I got there, I wasn't really watching the clock and just thought I would keep going and driving until it got a little bit dusky outside.

Well, by the time it did get "dusky" and I then decided it was about time to stop, I finally looked at the clock -- it was about 11:45 PM (15 minutes to midnight) ... LOL ...

Hoo-boy! It stays light up there, quite a bit later than here in the states... :-)

Oh..., and sunrise was about 3:30 AM, too...
