My daughter lives in Maine. We visited her in the winter last year. Pitch black at 3:45pm until 8:30am. And 10 degrees! We were ready for bed at 7:00.

We bought her a “happy” light designed to keep people from going insane. They actually work.

Lived in Alaska a while. I am a summer sizzle and sun person. Share your happy light info? I have tried to embrace dark and cold, too much like death, I guess. Can’t do anything outside too long.. yep. I need a good happy light, might need to get ones for the girls too.

Standard time sucks. Give people daylight so they can get things done, or enjoy activities after work.

I lived in Maine. Went into work for 6 AM. Often worked until 4:30. There would be days when I never saw the sunlight outdoors.

I hated that.

A "happy light"

That's the traditional, "northern way"!

LOL

I was stationed at Loring AFB a very long time ago.

Went to work in the dark and went home in the dark.

It was actually good for me because my eyes were (and are) sensitive to light.

Oh, how I miss the Autumn colours. I was just perusing the properties up in Kent and Caribou over the web, yesterday. Sigh....houses have shot up in cost!

It was always funny getting the children’s Halloween costumes 2 sizes larger for going over their snowsuits!
