Y'all know that Daylight Saving Time ended this morning (at least in the US), yes?
One thing I learned from that site: it's been only 85 years since the US officially standardized our time zones. (US railways adopted standard time 120 years ago, but it took a while for the idea to catch on among the general population.)
The idea still hasn’t caught on here in Arizona.
Or parts of Indiana. (Daylight Savings, that is. Standard time zones are recognized.)
it’s what I miss most from my 3 years in Bloomington, IN. I loved not having to change clocks. I don’t have a preference for ST or DT, but I wish “they” would just pick one already.
ps: Hawaii doesn’t do it, either.
pps: I don’t have any problem with time zones. but did you know that China has only one, while Russia has 5 (though it may have been the USSR when I counted them) over the same range of longitudes?
Arizona really need to observe DST during the summer between April and October. To assure that they’ll have a good taste of having daylight/twilight later in the evening if the government allow to use DST which means still on the MST. However, since Arizona do not observe DST which means they are on California time (PST) will get dark early and California will still have daylight a little while longer. If Arizona were smart enough, they can tell the local government to move the clock 1 hour foward and still be on MST, not on PST. The Indian Reservation do observe daylight savings is on MST and the rest of the state is on PST. You may want to check on http://www.sunrisesunset.com and most of USA have daylight after 8pm. Best if the people in the state of Arizona to persuade the government or vote.
