Daylight Savings Haters
Attention Daylight Savings Time Haters! So do you prefer:
1) Very dark mornings in November and December, waking up and driving to work in the dark
2) Very dark and early evenings when you get out of work in July and August, so you barely have time enjoy a steak in the evening before it’s pitch black?
If you repeal daylight savings time: Sunset on August 15th in Albany – 6:56 PM
If you keep daylight savings time year round: Sunrise on December 10th in Albany – 8:19 AM
Nice Trail for a Ride
What would it look like if we made Daylight Savings Time permanent in Albany? 🌅
Just imagine getting up every morning an hour or maybe two before sunrise, and being off to work in the dark. On the other hand, it might be good from an energy conservation perspective.

Winter mornings would be even darker if you get farther north and west in every Time Zone, such as Grand Rapids Michigan, which also is in the Eastern Time zone. 🌆
