Right now it gets light about 7 am in upstate NY and dark, oh maybe 6 ish.. (depends, of course how far north or south one lives)
So we set the clocks to have the lots of daylight.
OK, tonight we all set our clocks so it gets light at say 5:30 am. How's that? For all you folks going to they gym before work.
Then, at noon we turn the clock BACK a few hours so the sun sets at, oh 9:30 pm. Then, at mid-night, we set them ahead again by the same amount. We lose a few hours sleep but, what the heck.
That's just a suggestion. We can vote on what times we all prefer.
Of course the folks in the Florida Keys will have more sunlight than those in Bangor, to say nothing of people in Fairbanks. You guys are just shit our of luck in the winter.
