DST means more light in the evenings, when a lot of people get off work and shop (recreationally and groceries/necessities). Having the extra light at that time makes people more inclined to actually go spend money, as people prefer to be out and about when there's daylight (more practical/convenient as well as safe). If it were darker, people would probably be more inclined to not worry about running errands, and consequently hold onto their money.
At least that's how it makes sense to me.
That's exactly what I was referring to.
Actually, no. I recently read an article in Scientific American that basically said daylights savings time doesn't have any appreciable impact on energy consumption. Rather, it said Daylight Savings Time is good for the economy and that's why we shouldn't do away with it, especially now with the recession.
I went over The Tooth of Time, not Baldy, although I did camp on top of Mt. Philips in some of the worst weather imaginable. (Hail, freezing rain, 20 degree temperatures, etc.)
The horrible weather atop Mt. Phillips.
Me atop the Tooth of Time.
^Sketchup has the same problem. Yeah, you'll have to take a look at your texture settings. If anything is set to pure black, then it's probably the source of the problem.
I just thought I'd just remind everybody what they said last December:
I think it's safe to assume that Parques Reunidos wasn't being 100% truthful with Kennywood about the sale conditions. At any rate, let's hope this is the last of the broken promises.
There used to be a drive-in about 30 minutes from where I live, but I think they tore it down. It may have been abandoned, I'm not sure.
It's sad to see such a recognizable piece of Americana on the verge of extinction.
