68, sunny, & light breeze - it sucks! Its dark before I leave work now.

Its light enough to see well here now at 6:30 AM (I know that because Saturday is the first day of slug season and the last two trophies I took, I took at first light on the two day slug season). Why can't we set up time so that we go to work when its still dark and get home with an hour and a half of daylight left? I can't get my yard mowed now (my six acres are still going strong) because my grass cutter doesn't get off work until 5:00 PM. My vette needs washing and its only in the first or last two hours of daylight that I have enough shade.
