Hey, It's Spring Forward!

01 April, 2006

Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins tomorrow at 2 a.m. It means Spring is definitely here. No matter how people try to explain the definition of DST in technical or scientific words, to me it's just a matter of different time when the sun goes down or does rise. For those who always get up early in the morning like I do, you might notice real well that the sun in Spring or Summer shows up earlier than Fall & Winter. On the other hand, the sunset happens quite late in Spring or Summer. It's no surprise to see the sun is still up in the sky at 8 pm or 9 pm particularly in Summer time. I have to admit that I am still amazed how wonderful it is to have the sun longer than 12 hours in the day that I've never had once in my home country. Don't you think it's quite logic to save the lights during the days when the sun up there gives a help in natural way?
