That noise at the end of the first part of Conversations With Sarah scared me! I thought it was coming from my apartment. I can't believe it's snowing there; it's getting warm and springlike in my neck of the woods!
I agree. It may used to have saved energy, but I don't know if that's the case anymore. I'd like to see some proof. Also, I think it's dangerous for people to commute to work with the lack of sleep; it takes about a week on average for people to recover from the time change, and a sleepy driver is more likely to get in a wreck than someone who's had a few drinks.
I like DST, here in Oz we call it Day Light Saving. If I was an Orthodox Jew I would convert to, lets say BWS, that way I wouldn have to wait for the Sun to raise so I could say morning prayers. I suppose it gives a whole new meaning to "Morning Glory".
In case you haven't heard, there is a new phenomenon called GLOBAL WARMING!

I don't like summer time/DST very much. It causes confusion and sleep deprivation every year :(
And I don't believe that it saves any energy.

Clever Question/Answer today, Sarah. It took me a while to figure out what you were getting at (what does that say about me?) XD

I can figure out the rest, but why are the Jews not happy about DST?

This is from the Reuters article: "Orthodox Jews, who wait until sunrise to say morning prayers, lobbied against the provision".
