Off the Cliff

'Oh sweet it is in youth and May to see the sun arise.' Except this is the tail end of October with daylight saving still hanging in, and Environment Canada tells me the sun won't rise until fifteen minutes before I have to be at work.

So there is (wait for it) a dark side to daylight saving. Evidently I've never been up before 7 at this time of year in all my life.
