Most of our population lives at latitudes comparable to Europe. One time travelling in the Baltic in the fall a fellow traveller, USian, remarked that the days must be shortening 1/2

One pm already! Shouldn't I feel like having lunch?
Bring back Standard Time!
Have eaten natural, usually organic, pb for many years. We buy Sobey's crunchy organic now that Windsor's Nutsmith has vanished from the shelves. Took a while to get used to no salt.

Back in the days of the flower children (and Vietnam war) we asked why soldiers didn't just refuse to go to war.
But that's what they're hired for. Sigh.

Anti-uranium signs on railings, and a lot of emphasis on all of us being Treaty people who can work together "shoulder to shoulder" to combat the gov. The treaties provide legal basis for obligation to protect land etc....

Good turnout at today's demo outside the Leg. "We are all treaty people." There is, apparently, wording in the treaties which give us all legal opportunity to protect land, water, wildlife, heritage. Sorry I don't know more but if anyone can enlighten me please do π
Another demo Wed, same time.
This is just me thinking, not (yet) applicable personally. But might this mean that a person on a fixed income gets priced out of their own home? I know there are supposed to be caps but our assessment has gone up a couple of times since we moved 7 years ago. Not dire yet. We are seniors.

Year round daylight time is mistake. For health reasons we need early daylight not late day. The further north we go the sillier it gets because we have plenty of sun in summer and not enough in winter, time changes or no.
Most latitudes, just go back to old dates for change, closer to equinox.
I caught part of that show when it was first broadcast, found it really good but missed early episodes and the end, so I should check Gem. Thanks for suggestion.
