We gain 86 Minutes in the month of March alone. That's awesome!

I don't know where you live, but in Wolfeboro, NH we gain 90 minutes of daylight in the month of March.

Always have to find something wrong and be that little smart ass.... channel 7 and 4 both mentioned it this morning. Maybe I should ask them where they live.

Channel 7 and 4 both mentiond that I "Always have to find something wrong and be that little smart ass".

Why would they say that?

I think the point was we are moving in the right direction towards spring.

Funny how the curvature of the Earth causes the amount of time to differ for different latitudes.

Thank you gillygirl, that is the point I was trying to make.

In Boston they gain 86 minutes of daylight in march and in Wolfeboro they gain 90 minutes in march.
I know it's only 4 minutes and I wasn't trying to be picky about it, I was just trying to show that it is different depending on where you live.

I guess I came across as a "smart ass" to some people...even channel 7 and 4 said so.

I bet you were trying to be a smart ass, Rusty!!

I didn't see the story. I only watch Channel 5. Are you thinking of suing 7 and 4 for libel?
