it didn't seem to mean much, because the sun strength and position closer to the equator overcomes the disparity. It doesn't mean much in Hawaii, either, for the same reason.

However, in both Massachusetts and Oregon, which are both at approximately the same higher latitude, the time shift in April (now March 11) gives us the the appearance of more daylight in the morning. I remember that the kids could stand on the street corner waiting for their school bus, and after Daylight Savings time came in, they would be in light starting in the spring. The reverse is true when we "fall back" in October, (now November 4) when the days are shortening as we head to the Winter Solstice.

Class dismissed! Have a wonderful week!

PS. If you read the two books I cited in my previous post, you can get the background and understand the intrigue on how this all happened. I'm trying to get one of the authors to do an audio show with me in March.
