>>Hi Alan.

>>>The province of Saskatchewan doesn't use DST and they seem to get along just fine.

>>Actually, I'd like us to move to DST. Here in late August, it's dark by 8:30 pm. I'd rather that it was 9:30 which DST would give us. Also, in early July, it's broad daylight by 4:30 am. Given that our bedroom windows face south, I'd much rather it be 5:30. Finally, it's a PITA having to accommodate everyone being on DST: have to remember that TO is two hours ahead of us now but one hour in the winter and Calgary is the same time as us now but an hour behind in the winter. Flight times change too: a flight that leaves Regina at 7:00 am in the winter leaves at 6:00 in the summer.

I'm in Edmonton. Once again it is dark when I get up and dark when I go to bed. Cool and damp today. The leaves are yellow on the maple trees and all over my lawn. What year did you leave Edmonton, Alan?
I ain't skeert of nuttin eh?
Yikes! What was that?
