I bet PH didn't show you the sundial when you were over here, Ecthy?

A local, eh?

Or should I say, 'Are you local?'

have decided to make this start a moth early and end a month later, thinking it will save on energy in 2007

Not just CA, everybody. Not sure how much of a difference it will make. Might as well shift the whole day (ZULU to ZULU) by an hour and be done with it.

Nope, moving to AZ won't help you, AZ will be using DST next year. Our two recalcitrant states, AZ and IN, have been successfully bullied into line.

I used to joke with my brother in IN that the state had four time zones: every county and town decided for themselves whether to use DST or not, and part of the state is in Central to match up with Chicago while the bulk of the state is Eastern.

They've still got their maverick streak, letting counties decide individually whether to be CT or ET, so driving up the western edge you will be changing zones at least 4 times.

It does seem like a lot of hassle. Why do we do it?

Because the bigger the wedge that can driven between us and our natural environment along with it's cycles, the more compliant and willing we become to sacrifice personal/social needs in order to obtain political/economic desires...

ok...

Political as it sounds, I just am a mere Sheeple, following along not questioning your answer

Hmm, I don't think extending daylight saving would be considered one of GWB's more dangerous plans...

Just you wait and see, you'll have Time Zone Texas all over US before you know it

Hey, my posts are on schedule again


Case closed
(at least until we turn DST off again)

I've changed timezones so that the correct time appears on Poly too. I am actually using the real time-zone I am in.
