Guess who forgot what day it was and set her clock forward. So, I am up, showered, hair done and make up. I was standing by the frontdoor waiting on my ride to work and thought it was sunny that no cars were at the small factory across the street. Then, I thought if this was Sunday, there wouldn't be. Then, cars started showing up. A man and wife that work there and come sit at my picnic table in the warm weather for their lunch hollered and asked me why I was up so early. Oh well, another day in paradise. > Thanks Christine for that link, it was very interesting info. Wiki is so > much fun!

(Better than the time I forgot in the fall, though, and barely got there in time to sing for the service!)

Then are you still singing (my drummer relative calls jobs "gigs") for fun and/or profit, Evelyn? You never say much about it these days. As for DST when I lived back on the east coast in south FL we were always puzzled about the purpose of DST....it used to stay daylight down there till about 9pm in midsummer. Since living in MileHigh I can tell you I never knew the meaning of "dark days" before but DST really makes a big difference locally; people get off work before the dark curtain falls and have some time to linger outside with their families in evening. And when the weather is bad daylight makes a big improvement for their commute home on the interstates, which are often skating-rink driving quality. > On Mar 8, 1:25 pm, "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > big improvement for their commute home on the interstates, which > are often skating-rink driving quality.

Not sure what they would do to me.....only cow-related activity popular in recent years in south FL was "sneak out to the outlying dairy farms (quite a drive) for cow-tipping" - always at night. Mainly a male sport made known to urbanity via Beavis & Butthead. "hopitus" > I can't stand to see *anything* hungry....city-raised hopitus is > deadly [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > cow-tipping" - always at night. Mainly a male sport made known > to urbanity via Beavis & Butthead. LOL, sorry. Cow tipping. I lived there till '76 and NEVER went to a rodeo. Too cruel. Kyla > I love DST. I just hate the change. Ditto. But the way I look at it is this: DST is a treat, we get an extra hour of daylight in the evening. So we pay a little fee for the privilege by having to give up an hour one weekend in March (or April, or January, or whenever They decide it will be). In the fall, going back to standard time, when it will get dark out earlier and just overall feel colder and more wintry, we do get the consolation prize of having an extra hour one weekend in October - which we night people really appreciate! So, I'll have one less hour tomorrow. But that's OK because I don't have much planned tomorrow anyway. And then it will finally be light out as I leave work, yay!

Oh yeah, I lived in MileHigh, and those roads can be deadly in winter. One things I did like about living there was washing the sheets, and hanging them outside in the freezing snow for a few days then let them dry in the cold sun and boy, did they smell good, and yes I had lots of spare good smelling sheets. :) Kyla Know living near rainy Seattle for over 31 years. > On Mar 8, 1:25 pm, "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" > <evgm...@earthlink.net> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > fun > and/or profit, Evelyn? Regretfully, no! One disadvantage of being fairly accomplished as a singer is that you notice when your voice is no longer what it once was, and will no longer do what you want it to do. Having heard a few singer (including some really successful ones) who kept singing long after they should have stopped inflicting themselves on an audience, I vowed I would never be one of them! I still love music, and enjoy hearing promising young singers, but I don't try to sing anymore, myself. >You never say much about it these days. > As for DST when I lived back on the east coast in south FL we were [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > big improvement for their commute home on the interstates, which > are often skating-rink driving quality.

Frank Sinatra comes to mind - in later years he didn't sound at all like he did when he was young, but he was always worth listening to. (Actually, having heard him from when he first became popular, I thought he was much better as he grew older - he was just another crooner with a "gimmick" when he first began, but he really matured as an artist as time passed.)

I've read he has taken excellent care of his health (and voice) over the years. He still sounds like Johnny. And he's probably what, in his 70's?

Start copy: The prominent English builder and outdoorsman William Willett invented DST in 1905 during one of his pre-breakfast horseback rides, when he observed with dismay how many Londoners slept through the best part of a summer day.[18] An avid golfer, he also disliked cutting short his round at dusk. His solution was to advance the clock during the summer months, a proposal he published two years later.[19] He lobbied unsuccessfully for the proposal until his death in 1915; see Politics for more details.

And today > would be the very best day to burn it here in the States. My most confusing timeshift experience was when I arrived in the US from New Zealand in 1974. I had flown across the Pacific, which meant crossing the International Date Line and an unknown number of time zones, seeing the sun going up and down like a yoyo, touching at Fiji and Hawaii and spending an afternoon in LA at what was biologically some other time entirely, and having no idea how long I'd been in the air, finishing off by flying through the worst thunderstorm to hit the US in decades. I was supposed to meet somebody in Pittsburgh but missed them as summer time had ended the day I arrived. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts > > So it's William Willet's effigy that we want to burn.

Oh, I misunderstood the phrase "summer time"! We don't call it that in the US. It's either "standard time" or "daylight savings time". When you said "summer time" had ended that day, I was thinking, Sept 21, the first day of autumn. And what did that have to do with not meeting a friend? :) Never mind, I get it now.

If New Zealand had summer time back then (I think it did but I can't be sure) it didn't change on the same dates as the US.

Its maddening. So, Tasmania started Daylight Saving (Spring Forward) on the 7th of October last year, whilst New South Wales (NSW), The Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Victoria (Vic), South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA) started daylight savings on the 28th of October, 2007. Queensland (QLD) and the Northern Territory (NT) don't do daylight savings. TAS, NSW, ACT, VIC, & SA stop daylight savings on the 6th of April 2008, but WA stops earlier on the 30th of March. In winter, Australia has 3 time zones - AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time), and thats QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and TAS. SA & NT are half an hour behind behind AEST on ACST (Australian Central Standard Time). WA is 2 hours behind AEST, being Australian Western Standard time (AWST). In Summer, it has 5, because QLD and NT don't observe Daylight Savings But in the transitional period, there can be up to 7 different time zones, as states change on different dates. And we've only got 8 states! Yowie "Yowie" > Us Aussies have the same fun as you guys do in the USA. Some states do > Daylight Savings, some don't. And those that do change on different dates.
