Daylight Saving Time

It finally occurred to me why I am waking up a 4:30 every morning -- that's when the sun comes up. And it starts getting dark rather early in the evening.

Today I figured out why. I read an article on www.japundit.com that Japan is considering using daylight saving time. Which means they aren't using it here now. I guess I knew that, since I went from being 15 hours ahead of home to 14.

I wish Japan would use DST. My curtains aren't completely opaque, and I could use an extra hour of sunlight for drying clothes when I do laundry after work, and for riding my bike when I go shopping.
