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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
