...for Daylight Saving Time to start.
It's Spring, and that means the day time is are longer than the nights, and soon Daylight Saving time will be in effect.
Some people complain about DST; I love it. Some also complain about the name; that nothing is being saved - How can anyone save daylight?
My answer is: I'm saving the time that the sun is out for ME. I'm using it for myself and takin' it away from the Man, man. Mostly, it's a way to get sailing time in after normal work hours.
Granted, since I left a regular "job", this has less significance. Actually it doesn't. UHCL tends to have a lot of classes in the evenings which has the potential to gum up a the works, But it still feels good to have time in the evenings to do other things.
Another reason I like DST is when I lived in Arizona, there was no DST. Apparently in the hotter parts of the state they feel they have enough sunlight. I lived in Flagstaff, up in the mountains where it wasn't so warm and I didn't really understand why Arizona didn't observe it. I knew that folks said there were enough hours of intense sunlight there, and being a dumb kid, I had other things to occupy my mind. When I left and moved to Texas it was hard to get used to for the first time. I didn’t really care for it until I got into sailing. And that's the main reason I like DST: more daytime to sail.
