[Alberta's Child]

I set my alarm clock based on the time the sun rises. I get up two hours before sunrise regardless of what time that happens to be.

I wish we'd stop being so infantile about it and just figure out how to adjust our schedules accordingly without pretending the time has changed twice a year.

It's interesting that Thunder Bay, Ontario was apparently the first place to have DST. Maybe the time zones were different in 1908, but right now that place is about as far west as you can go in North America and still be in the Eastern Time Zone. The sun rises and sets in Thunder Bay almost an hour and twenty minutes later than it does in Portland, Maine -- which means the Eastern Time Zone was artificially expanded in Canada to cover more than 1/24th of the world's east-west distance at that latitude.

Actually Maine is an outlier, we're further East than anyone else in that time-zone. We should be on Atlantic Time.

That would justify the 1:20.

Doesn’t matter what time of year, I set my alarm so I can be 300 miles down the road by sunup so I can see my work better and miss some of the traffic congestion.
