The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed the bill with total support by both parties, by unanimous consent, which could mean sunnier evenings year-round - and less-sunny mornings in winter.

The bill's fate lies largely with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. If the top lawmaker chooses to bring this legislation to a vote and it passes the House of Representatives, it would become U.S. law.

Such a move would create pressure for Canada to follow suit, as jurisdictions like Toronto and Ottawa might be keen to have their clocks co-ordinated with those in New York and Washington.

It won't be US law until the House of Representatives passes it by a majority vote, then it has to be sent to he President for him to sign. If he vetos the bill, it goes back to congress and needs a 66% vote in both congressional houses to override the veto.

Then it becomes law. The House of Representatives will likely take this Senate Bill and stuff it full of ear marks, pork porjects, and a certain amount of handouts to a specific class before the House Speaker calls it to vote.

The strong agricultural lobby has always been against making DST permanent, so count on them to spend a few million bucks fighting it.

Won't be over until the proverbial fat lady sings.

Hehe, I typed 45.6071,74.6042 into Google Maps and it brought me to the middle of Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan.

Something told me that wasn't correct so I entered 45.6071,-74.6042 instead and I was plopped down almost halfway between Montreal & Ottawa which seems more plausible, assuming of course you're not an amphibious Kazakh... ;)

Isn't "smell-o-vision" a bit of an oxymoron? If you're smelling something, then you aren't using your vision. :P

DST provides more sunny hours into the evenings. THAT makes
excellent sense to me. Who wouldn't want more daylight during
the glorious summers?

They are not changing it in the Summer. They are changing the time IN THE WINTER. So, there will be days here where the Sun won't be up until around
9am or after. No, I don't want that just so the Sun can stay out until 5:30-6pm on an handful of days that will likely be clouded over at
eveningtime anyway.

And you don't get MORE daylight, they are just moving around the time of
day you get it.

I expected exactly this. But, it is one thing to discuss 'world events', and something else to delve into politics. I'm not suggesting that the

BTW.. summer months have "more" daylight wrt the sun rising

Well, if we cannot talk about the US Senate's actions, because it is full
of politicians, then we shouldn't be talking about the subject at all
here. <grin>

Since I live in the US, I figure I am allowed to call our senators morons, especially since I directed it at the whole body and not one side. That is pretty lite, politically speaking, compared to the discussions that usually drag us down.

Not when they shift it into bedtime. Having a job, I have to go to bed sometime. When it is still light out at 9pm, it is difficult to convince
the mind that it is bedtime (or past it).

As a kid, I had a strong argument with my parents NOT to go to
bed when it was still light outside. But they solved the
problem by drawing heavy drapes over the window!
