I hate it when it gets dark early. I get so depressed in the winter mostly because of that I think. In the summer it gets dark around 9:30 or 10:00, but in the winter it gets dark around 4:30 or 5:00pm and it sucks.
Now, it gets dark at around 7 ish and its only gonna get darker earlier. At least the time switch is earlier in the spring now. I think they do it in mid April now instead of mid March.
I never realized how different the sunrise and sunsets are in different places. Here during the 'winter solstice' it gets dark around 5:30 pm and during the 'summer solstice'(the longest daylight of the year) it gets dark around 8:45 pm. It would suck getting dark before 5 pm, but would be cool if it got dark closer to 10 pm in the summer. I guess I just don't know it any other way.
One drawback of daylight saving time is the kids (HS) have to go to school in the dark part of the year. The bus picks them up at 6:15 am and it's still pitch black out.
I find winter kind of depressing too, though I like it when a really cold front comes through especially close to Christmas. Though I couldn't deal with it for months on end like folks do up north.

Just imagine if it started to get dark at like 3:00 pm, that'd be weird, but cool!
