Thanks for posting this. I am looking forward to it. It will definitely help personal moods when the weather is cold in March and fall.

HC Daylight Savings Time in Atlanta SUCKS?
HC it seems like no matter what time of year it is, it is dark at 7 a.m.?
HC how am I ever supposed to make it out of bed and to work at a decent hour if its DARK at 7 a.m. and still almost pitch black at 6 a.m.?
HC this sucks?
