Gyros sound Tasty! Guess I should get out more since I've never had one.

They are very good. Usually lamb meat here. With some onions, tomatoes, and cucumber sauce, wrapped in a pita. Tasty.

Not the real thing, but Arby's has roast beef and turkey gyros.

If I ever get to Anchorage again, I'll make a point of trying one. There are several ol' time authentic Greek restaurant's there.

Never had a Gyro, but if I do I hope it will be after they abolish DST.

I think that DST was an item that may have worked well during WWll and it should have been left there.

I love DST. I wish we had DST and "double DST". When the clocks roll back in the fall, a little bit of me dies, I HATE it when it gets dark at 5PM, it's so despressing because I love to be outside and working a 9-5, basically means that when it's light out, I'm at work (in the winter). I'd happily go in a few hours early (in the pitch black) to have it light to 8PM in the winter.

In the late 60's, Indiana was, in effect, forced into double-daylight savings time. We were already 45 sun minutes behind standard time when the US government imposed DST on us. We were then 1 hour and 45 minutes ahead of the sun. In effect, double-daylight savings time. As kids in summer, we were now playing in twilight at 10:30 at night! It was, and still is, ridiculous.

There's an old joke that goes like this... when told of daylight savings time, the native American replied "Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket."
