I often wish we'd stay on the same time all year long.

Alberta.  Pretty country up there.  

I'll have to contact my friends up in the Yukon Territory and see what time
they are observing now.

 DW> Gas prices are another story... 

Regular gas in these parts (southeastern Louisiana) was down to $2.05 per
gallon a couple of weeks ago.  I have to use premiun at $2.25 per gallon
because of the octane rating my car's engine requires.  Anyway, I
contracted a stomach virus and didn't leave the house for a week.  When I
did yesterday, I noticed the price of a gallon of gas had risen 40 cents
per gallon.  The only scientific evidence I have for this at the moment is
greed.
