Fwd: mudpuppy night video

[Fred Schueler]

Everyone,

Here's a link to a video, made by Garry Lackner, of a February
Mudpuppy Night - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwZ98sJVdzc

We checked the site earlier this week, and found the water levels
still rising, so there's not much chance of seeing any Mudpuppies
tonight - but we will go out - at 21h00 to compensate for daylight
saving time (or inconvenience amplification time, as it's also known).
Drifted shells and stuff are coming down the creek, so there may be
some collecting of that, and perhaps some Mammal activity.

For my part, it's the switch back to Standard Time that's the
inconvenience, now that it makes up less than a third of the year. Too
bad we can't stay on Daylight Savings the whole year and call it
Daylight Standard Time.

Or could move to Saskatchewan where farmers rule and they stay on
Standard time all year

I'm guessing that in Saskatchewan the time zone must better fit the day.
Here in Eastern Standard we must be too close to the next western time
zone and therefore we'd be better off in that time zone. Then we
wouldn't need to switch to daylight time.

I'm also guessing that it's not a question of people in Saskatchewan
being too stubborn or individualistic to switch, but rather there's no
need to switch to daylight time. Obviously, if the farmers there like
Standard Time without switching, it must already be similar to our
daylight time.

* actually, we're smack dab on the 75th meridian which is the centre
of the longitudinally vast eastern Time Zone, so our standard time is
pretty much solar time. The thing about daylight time is that the
benefits are so dependent on latitude - in Saskatchewan (and even
here) the summer days are so long and the the winter days so short
that the daylight change doesn't make much difference - but the
decisions are made in Washington DC, at 39 degrees N, where they're
much greater.

Why any part of Canada goes along with it is a mystery, unless Toronto
is far enough south to make the benefits palpable, and the other
non-Sask provinces have gone along with Ontario going along with the
USA.

I live in Oshawa (almost as far south as Toronto) and the benefits are not palpable. In fact, I found that the irritations were palpable. For example, the week before the time change marked the first week of the year I was able to leave for work (6:40 am) and return from work (5:50 pm) with a bit of daylight. Then DST occurs and it is dark when I am leaving for work again. I am firmly planted in the standard time camp.

NO MORE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS,  Lets spend the lot!
