But it wasn't a trial of standard time year round, it was a trial of putting people on schedules inappropriate to their latitude. Me, I'd like to see everybody go on Greenwich time and quit fooling around with the clocks. Or, at least, fiddle with their own clocks and quit messing with mine. Back when I lived in a Devil-Satan Time state, there was an orchard near me that closed just when it got cool enough to go out on my bike. When we got the fall jumpback that year, I thought I'd be compensated for my jet lag by being able to buy apples -- but when I turned up at the orchard store that evening, the closing sign had been changed to read one hour earlier. The orchard was keeping to its schedule without regard to the vagaries of the legislature. -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
