Time Change

Does anyone else have a problem with this time change we do each year, twice a year? It almost makes me want to move to a different state. Indiana and Arizona I last knew did not do the time switch thing.

Montana gets really dark this time of year. Most of live above the 45th parallel. It starts geting dark about 3:30 PM right before the winter solstice, no joke. And then the sun doesn't rise until about 8 AM in the morning. I gotta tell you, it can be a drag.

And that is why I have a daylight machine. Yep, a daylight simulating machine, So when, and if, the gray gets overwhelming, I can, by the magic of electronics, simulate daylight. Trick my brain into thinking it got real rays.

Of course, I could always hop a plane for points west and south for 3 months. But then I would miss out on all that great powder and cross country ski season!
