For the same reason our schools run September to June.

When we get to the point where Central time is the same as Zulu we can stop. Then I won't have to bother trying to remember the offset all the time! :-) Highflyer |

Probably a good reason that we don't have that Daylight Savings Time nonsense here in Arizona. Around here, energy use is significantly higher when the sun is shining. I remember back during the "Oil Crisis" when they didn't revert to standard time in the winter. I loved it but I was between 10 & 12 years old at the time. You liked that? I remember having to go to school while it was still pitch dark outside. I hated it. In the UK during WW2 we had 'summer' time all the year round and 'double' summer time during the normal summer time period. I think the idea then was to help boost factory production. I was at school then and had to ride a mile to the rail station to catch an 07:35 train to school. Mind you T think that almost all of the UK (except perhaps the Channel Islands) are well north of all of the USA. So we get shorter winter days. -- David CL Francis |

No, but it would give all the software companies a new reason to sell us an
upgrade. "airman" wrote in message om... Would extending daylight savings time give us more daylight? See Rep. Ed Markey's comments: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...e&sid=84439559 |
