26 Extra Minutes In The Evening!

Due to Boise's location on the far western edge of the Mountain time zone it looks to me like we'll be getting a bonus of extra light each evening as compared to Portland. Just today alone I enjoyed 26 more minutes of light tonight than did Deb at home in Vancouver. Sure she'll get her 26 minutes of light back tomorrow morning, at the ass crack of dawn, but she'll sleep through it.

This tidbit on information is all the internet's fault... How else would I have proven this?
