DST does help us have a longer evening, just like it's supposed to do. <BR/><BR/>West of Wichita, KS, out where my brother lives, it's the western side of the time zone, and at the longest days of the year with DST, it's still twilight at about 10:00 p.m.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-36956936785947335442007-03-16T09:23:00.000-05:002007-03-16T09:23:00.000-05:00Mark, I like DST as well.

My kids and I can spend more time outside after school. <BR/><BR/>When I lived in Seattle, I really felt as if I had so much more time.

Those fall back days feel just as lovely. One after tax day would be great.Sarabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044786582426844753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-29957910964256196372007-03-16T08:47:00.000-05:002007-03-16T08:47:00.000-05:00You know, I think it's really the one night that's...You know, I think it's really the one night that's an hour shorter that irritates people.
