[COLOR="Purple"]I was out trimming some tree limbs after dinner tonight. As I was finishing up, it was getting kinda dark. I looked at my watch and low and behold, it was almost 9pm CDT and there was still enough light to see by.

The nights have gotten way shorter! DST hasn't helped either. Grrrrr! >sad

Yeah Bill, the DST is the worst part!
BUT consider what we get to observe in those brief nights...
In Sagitarius, Scorpius, and Cygnus alone...
My glass is more than half full. wink

You guys at middle latitudes have no reason to complain. At least you have some hours of darkness during the night.
