At higher latitudes there are going to be some sorts of issues, one way or the other - either in summer or in winter. Right now, in Washington State (45 to 49 degrees N), it starts to get light between 4 and 5 am. If we're on permanent standard time, that'll be happening between 3 and 4 am.

Very Stable ones!

Man, now I'm *really* glad we ditched our landline earlier this millennium...
