When I go hawkwatching before the time is changed back, we always keep track of flights by standard time, as hawks don't know we're on daylight savings time. We call it "bird time."<BR/><BR/>Carolyn H.Carolyn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179182853082650546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-71700751148268226982008-08-13T20:24:00.000-04:002008-08-13T20:24:00.000-04:00My uncle used to refuse to set his clocks to dayli...My uncle used to refuse to set his clocks to daylight savings time. He said it was a lazy man's way of keeping time, and that those who worked sun up to sun down didn't gain anything from it anyway.<BR/><BR/>So, if you follow his rule, you are really walking at I'd guess 5 or 5:30 am anyway, and it should still be dark!<BR/><BR/>;-)another profilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428105596994629637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-6807125149633940232008-08-12T21:41:00.000-04:002008-08-12T21:41:00.000-04:00I'll be kinda glad when the sun doesn't come up un...I'll be kinda glad when the sun doesn't come up until 7.

And since August is still summer, for some reason I simply can't get used to the idea that it's still (already?) dark at 5:30 a.m. Plus, I don't think I got up as early when I was younger as I do now, so I don't have as much experience with the times of sunrise in August as you might expect.<BR/><BR/>Carolyn H.Carolyn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179182853082650546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-88311088856021709352008-08-12T10:31:00.000-04:002008-08-12T10:31:00.000-04:00Do you think it has to do with going back when we ...Do you think it has to do with going back when we were kids, getting up earlier in September when school started?Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-25169318982034152612008-08-12T10:26:00.000-04:002008-08-12T10:26:00.000-04:00Maybe you equate morning light with hot days?Maybe you equate morning light with hot days?EJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547029683066393031noreply@blogger.com
