So you can ski just about year around? Twelve months a year, in fact. I know a guy who's skied at least once a day for the past decade or so. EVEN ON 9/11?! |

Trying to ski would probably beat the living crap out of my knees. Plus theres the fact that if I fell, I wouldn't stop rolling for quite a while.  |

"Daring" is a relative term. Some would call double-blacks daring, while for others they are warmup runs. If you mean freestyle skiiers, then no, I have little or no skill in the terrain park. However, I can do something that the park rats apparently can't: hike  |

Good point Trotsky daring and living dangerously are sometimes mistaken. I prefer to take the daring approach.
And, I like daylight for lots of reasons. In our winter in this region it gets dark at 430-5pm much of the year and in the construction industry it makes for difficulties in getting jobs done.
I perfer the long days because quite frankly I can make more money when there's daylight. And there's not that cold and hard to break ground issue. And concrete poured in cold doesn't cure quickly and that slows things down as well.
I do like skiing I have not done any in nearly 4 years but my girlfriend (we are not together anymore) was an avid skier and we dated for 8 years so we went skiing a lot.
When we called it quits I haven't gone much but I should get back onto the slopes.

I used to be on the time where you didn't have to set your clocks. But since this year, my county moved to Central time, so I have to switch my clock. I had to move it an hour ahead. But I like it like this better anyways. I may lose one hour of sleep, but at least it doesn't get dark at 6pm anymore. There is a debate in the works now to return Indiana to pre-DST state. The counties that were placed in CT will revert back to ET and will go back not recognizing DST. As it stands now, Indianapolis is always an hour ahead of Evansville. Before the change, in the summertime it was the same time in both cities, but in the winter Indy was hour ahead of Evv. They want to put the whole state in the eastern time zone, but this wouldn't be feesable if a large part of western Kentucky stays on central time. |

That's harder to keep track of than if everybody just adjusts their clocks at the same time and leave it at that.

I have to say I like it when theres more daylight. But I can be a night person too it just depends.
Sometimes its fun to be out on the back deck late at night.

That's quite a glare there coming in on your windshield. Do you have tinted windows?  |

It's however it came from the factory it's not modified but I think all Chevy Silverados come with a partially tinted winshiled. escessive tinting is illegal in Pennsylvania.
