Morning Buzz for Friday 3//7/08
This Sunday at 2am, set your clock forward one hour. We will begin daylight saving time and enjoy an extra hour of sunlight. I have always enjoyed seeing the sun set later in the summer… although, I must admit, the later sunsets mean it will be harder for me to fall asleep during the week. I go to bed early, so I think I’ll need to invest in some dark curtains soon.What about you? What are your feelings on daylight saving time? If you also work odd hours, how do you fall asleep when it’s bright outside?

I enjoy the longer days..and the later sunsets dont bother us at all..
On the west side of our place the trees are 80 feet tall..and run the entire length of the property..so by 3:00 PM the entire yard is in the shade..
As crazy as this is going to sound..it really isnt..and it has so many advantages..
Every window in our house is “limo tinted”..you however have a choice of how dark you want to go..We decided on the 2% window tint..
It isnt as dark as it sounds..but it keeps the bright sunlight out..plus it helps save on the electric bill..the A/C rarely comes on and when it does..it doesnt stay on for long..
Also it doesnt allow the sun to fade your curtains or floors..not to mention..that nobody can just see into your house..which is an added security bonus..
If you went with the 20% window tint..it would be like looking through a pair of sunglasses..and we all know how nice they are in bright sunlight..
The tint comes in either permanent or electro-static..which just peels off when you want the full sunlight again..Being that it holds the cool and warmth in..we went with the permanent tint..
I got the idea from watching late night vampire movies..
