<  I'm pleased to hear it.  I always valued old fashioned Russian common sense.


<  It seems they are finally listening to it.

<  I have just heard on the satellite TV station - Russian copycat version of

<  the semi-annual changing from Winter time to Summer time and back again.


<  


<  The announcer supported this planned decision by the scientific research


<  stating that there is more harm than benefits as regards changing time twice


<  a year, last but not least because it negatively affects some folks´


<  behaviour and attitudes as they have to adapt to this change and not all go


<  through this easily.

<  Davidson Open Days) on Sunday and, surprise, I was just this damned virtual


<  hour late! (Well, it happened to me as I recall just twice during the last


<  thirty years:-)
