You were saying ...

Well, then they ought to just change the time for you lot and let the rest of us be.

Everyone in the country, who is on DST gets an extra hour of daylight after they get off work... so it benefits everyone who wants to do things after work, no matter where they live.

It's just that in Oregon, in addition to that extra hour, there is "also" a longer day. So, both combine together to give an extra long time for late afternoon and evening activities.

So, it doesn't mean that other states don't get the benefit of extra time, after they get off work -- they do.

We usually have daylight here until about 9 or 9:30 with the Spring forward. Which, obviously, would be 8 or 8:30 without the Spring forward. So, people getting out of work at 5 or so still have over 3 hours of daylight left.

Although I do sympathize with ya’ll. I guess it’s the adjustment. Then we’ll complain about the change in November. Just get used to one and bing...
