Re: DST- bunk

I guess it depends on how far north you are- When I was in Maine, you certainly didn't need DST. In summer it was sunny from 4am til 10 pm. 
I am happy that it is now daylight after 5pm here : )

Oh me too. I would happily give up some A/C for that extra time after
work. Although I'm not the best person to ask, since I'm quite happy to
sit around at 80F or 85F.

crazy!  Turns out I was right : )
