[78-L] Sunrise ^

[Don Chichester]

Longitude also plays a part.  The nearer one is to the eastern edge of the timezone, the earlier the sun rises.  Folks in eastern Maine, frinstance, complain that the sun comes up too early in the summer; they'd like to be in the Atlantic timezone.  BTW, I believe that most westerns are supposed to take place before the establishment of Daylight Savings Time.
