   It is interesting and reminds me of the time I did a couple of days work   
   in western Michigan and people were up and going to work and school in   
   the dark while back home in Delaware it was daylight.  Then there were   
   people I worked with in northern UK that in the winter Went to work and   
   came home in the dark.  First time I was in that area in the summer, sun   
   was up at 5 am and down at 10 pm.  Time zones would make no difference.
