[Let's Roll]

Gardening is the #1 hobby in this country. Just try taking that extra hour of daylight after work away from millions of gardeners because you're too lazy to change the few time pieces that aren't programmed to do the changing for you.

To say nothing of the tv schedules whose times are promoted for everyone not just the gripers who apparently think all the other problems in this country have been taken care of.

Like one of the posters said, do you want the sun coming up at 4 a.m. where you live in the summer? The fact that only a few states don't use daylight time should tell us something.

Here in NM, I keep reading how great it would be to have the same time as AZ. Why? Why isn't it great to have the same time as CO or why doesn't AZ join the rest of the MT time zone states?

OK...help me out here. It’s been a long day. There was a break in the much needed rain. I went out to work in the garden and try to get the yard ready for summer.

a) Are you sure you meant this post for me?

b) If so...did you forget the /s tag?

If you think that's challenging ...

I lived in Canada for a while. In the weeks before and after December 21st the sun was only up for around 7 hours or so. I remember arriving about an hour late for work one morning at about 9 AM ... and it was still dark enough that I needed to drive with my headlights on.

In the weeks before and after June 21st I never saw it dark outside unless I stayed up very late at night. I'd go to bed between 9:30 and 10:00 PM and it was still pretty light out. I'd wake up at 5:00 or 5:30 AM and the sun was already pretty high in the sky.
