Absolutely, Mustafa, The extra time in the afternoon/evening is great for many things....and daylight is also extending at day's end by about a minute and half a day until June, so that's even better.....

Enjoy
Colin.

I hope I don't have to pay interest. Oh well, rates are low.

To be honest, this won't bother me.

What time of year is that? I sat down on the couch to eat dinner at around 8, then around 9 I looked at the window and saw there was snow stuck to it. There was no snow on the streets or sidewalks this afternoon, now there's 6" of fresh powder.

Yeah, we had quite a little storm blow in last night. Can't say (early) Spring is my fave season, everything gets all muddy and smelly before it gets green and nice.
