Daylight Savings Time

In Europe they call it Summer Time, as in British Summer Time, BST, or Central Europe Summer Time, CEST. They "spring ahead" a week earlier than we do in North America. Much of Africa is in much the same time zone as Europe, GMT + 1, but South Africa does not observe daylight savings time. These are things you learn doing International Support, or reading the blog of someone who does!

Daylight savings time is a great idea, and we should never leave it. While I understand placing noon at that point in the day where the sun is highest is practical, who ever thought that day light should be equally divided between morning and evening was on crack or a morning person, which is basically the same thing. Inside workers should have as much light as possible after work when we're outside or near a window to enjoy it. It's just wasted in the morning.

All this to say, I LOVE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! Give me light when I can enjoy it.
