Summer time is starting early this year. We're told it's to save energy (lighter eveningsĀ = less energy consumption) except there doesn't appear to be any supporting data. In fact, there's some evidence [pdf] to suggest daylight saving time doesn't save energy - at least not in societies that tend to drive more when evenings are lighter...

Anyway, from tomorrow we'll be on summer time here in the Pacific North West.
