    I simply don't like coming home from work in the dark.

    When I've lived WAY north (VT, Seattle) it doesn't make any difference, as it's always dark.

    Exactly, if you don't like coming home in the dark, move south.

    What we should really do though, is all switch to UTC.

    Tennessee Chattanooga is indeed a good school.

    I'm warning you both, that doesn't really ring true.

    That doesn't always work either. If you're really far east within your time zone, it still gets dark at ungodly hours in the winter months.
    For example, during my time in Greenville, NC (like an hour and a half east of Raleigh), sunset was before 5pm on the shortest days of the year, and it would be straight up night by like 5:30.

    Yup. Pretty much the same situation as Asheville.

    But guess who found them? His freaking parents! That’s not weird at all.

    Medical examiner has apparently been called in, though, so maybe it's not an act to throw officials off the trail. But who knows?!?

    If the answer is not “steep” then I will be very disappointed.

    Ok, then there is no way to come home from work during daylight hours unless you switch the working hours. That's a better solution, if you ask me. Free ourselves from the antiquated 9-5 mentality! Of course, in somewhere like Boston which is even further east in the time zone than Greenville, even with the switch back to EST, we have 9 hours of daylight (sunrise is 7:10am this year on the Winter Solstice, sunset is 4:15pm), so, squeezing in an 8 hour day without at least some commuting time in the dark is difficult. We need to advocate away from the 8 hour work day! When the days are shorter, so is the amount of time one spends at work. Or you work from home. Or you pick your poison. For those who hate going to work in the dark (me), you come in later and leave later. For those who hate going from work in the dark, you come in earlier and leave earlier. The only way to avoid commuting in the dark in the winter in Boston is to live within walking distance from work or have a less than 30 minute drive and work from 7:30 - 3:30.
