Daylight Savings....

[beastboy]

What parts of the US participate in this??

 

[bigschweeler]

Pretty much every state except Arizona, Hawaii, and I think Indiana - or maybe it is just a county in Indiana...

Yea, what Schweeler said and it's just 1 county..
I have heard stories about folks in this county that have 2 different times in the same town...

When they go across town into the other county, the time changes...

as far as the states that dont participate in it, that is crazy gay. I think it rules. More daylight? Bring it.

I agree when I lived in Minnesota, but in Arizona you want the sun to set earlier so that the heat will start dropping in the evening. I think that is the main reason we don't participate, plus you want extra daylight in the morning when it isn't as hot to get things done.

I like it staying light until 8pm

Actually the reasoning for it being implemented was during WWII to move the daylight hours from the Morning to the Evening...

Otherwise without moving the clocks in the spring, it would be getting light at like 5 am in the east.

This allowed the rosie riverters to think it was not as late as it was and they would keep working until like 7 pm and not worry about going home in the dark.....

Also they would save on electric bla bla bla....

Isn't WWII over ?

True that, I like having extra daylight during the summer.
