Okay well it is almost that time of year. Sunrise today was around 7:30 or so I was told (acutally I looked it up) as I rarely am up that early without a reason on a Saturday. However, I am up at about 6am M-F as the kiddos are off to school by 7am. If they were to take the bus that would pick them up that would be at about 6:30 and it is already totally dark at that time.
If we stayed on DST all year - Sunrise would be as late as 8:30 AM - Odessa TX farther west Sunrise would be at almost 9:00 AM - For Comparison.
Go up north say in the midwest just Northern Michigan then the Sunrise would slide to almost 10:00AM
It is funny how there are outliers out there - In India They are 9 hours and 30 mins ahead of us(Eastern time) - Kathmundu Nepal is 9 hours 45 mins ahead of us. Hence the option of lets split the difference.
I really don't understand why a retired person would give two shits as to what time they get up. Do what your body prefers. In about 2 more years all our kids will be in college - and I doubt I will see the sunrise very often giving me one more reason as to why I wont care what time it is and the only thing I will need to know is when is the A&M game on Saturdays - So I can plan accordingly to tune in in the 2nd quarter when we start to play.
