haha yea too bad arizona.. and I agree with you about the rain.. Seems like every friday just in
time for the w.e. it freaking rains.

btw I just now noticed something about the time change schedule.. I am pretty sure it was drafted by
a heavy drinker.

"In the U.S., clocks change at 2 am local time. In Spring, clocks spring forward from
1:59 am to 3 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am to 1 am. In the EU, clocks change at 1 am
Universal Time. In Spring, clocks spring forward from 12:59 am to 2 am; in Fall, clocks fall back
from 1:59 am to 1 am."

notice that they make sure to get an extra hour of drinking in the fall, and make sure they don't
lose that hour again in the spring..heheh (given most states last call is at 2am).

Heard while in Arizona: "What need have we for ANOTHER HOUR of daylight?"

It's a dry, wilting, melting, boiling, scalding, energy-sucking heat.

Down with daylight savings bull$hit!

Yeah, it's a "don't take too deep a breath too fast lest your nosehairs get crispy and burst into
flames" kind of heat.

Kathleen Somehow, humid or dry, 105 degrees still feels like 105 to me...

I suppose its not so great for summer. I was out there one October and it got dark so stinking
early that we barely made it off National. Then we rode the race trail (Cactus Cup?) by moonlight
for an hour.

In Oregon, daylight savings time means we can get in some pretty good rides on any given day,
without having to work some odd shift. In mid-summer, it gets dark after 10:00pm, and the temps
rarely get over 80.

One of the folks in our chat room lives at Luke AFB near Phoenix and we kid her with the "It's a dry
heat" line.

CEST (Central European Summer Time) started the weekend just gone, and it's been pissing down
ever since...

I like to remind people you bake cookies (biscuits to your Yurrupean types) in a "dry heat".

But it's true - no one here in AZ wants another hour of sun at the end of the day. We do our riding
in the early morning before it gets hot. So going to DST would give us an hour LESS riding time.

FWIW, I still get in lots o' roadie miles in the summer. As long as you're moving (the faster the
better), even 110 degrees isn't really all that bad (and certainly beats getting in a car, where the
temperatures make a sauna look like a refrigerator). But the thought of scrambling up National in
that kind of heat is unthinkable. 100's my limit! ;-)

Why do I feel so jealous and resentful.

Simon............home of the damp heat, wet heat and generally shite weather.
