Not really... only griping on an (admittedly international) echo, that
nobody in charge of doing anything is likely to take notice of... ;)
PH> I'm about to soon loose my DST as we creep back into autumn here.
When does your time change...? Ours is now the second Sunday in March
going onto DST and the first Sunday in November coming off...
PH> Missing summer already...
One could have summer without DST, that's for sure.. ;) Here, we have
to wait for 10pm for it to get dark enough for the 4th of July
fireworks... without DST, it could start at 9pm... ;)
Now, if DST /brought/ spring, that could be a point in its favor... but
we are still stuck in winter... ;) AND don't have daylight until
something like 8 in the morning... when it could be nicely light at 7
am... ;)
