Daylight Saving

Today we went onto daylight saving time, for the first time in Indiana's history! Now we'll be on the same time as all the eastern states year-round, not just during winter. (That is, except for those counties in the north-west that have been subsumed by Chicago's urban sprawl, they've always been on central time, as though they were part of Illinois.)

I don't know why but the days are already seeming very long, much longer than what I'm used to. This makes daylight saving a good thing, becaause I don't like being woken up early by sunlight (my bedroom window faces east) but I can't help wondering just how much of it is my imagination. Apparently we're at 39˙ 9' 44" here in Bloomington and Leonay is 33˙ 45' 54". Doesn't sound like a big difference but already, just a few days after the equinox, I'm finding the sun stays up til about 7pm and with the time change that will be 8pm. It's going to be the land of the midnight sun come July!
