Daylight Savings Time

[Jim]

I forgot that the part of the state I live in stupidly observes the barbaric ritual of changing their clocks arbitrarily twice a year. It's really telling about the Navajo, that they do not want to be part of Arizona, when they observe this ritual. Next weekend they jump 1 hour ahead of the state. They justify it by saying they have territory in Utah and New Mexico, but why not be in Arizona and allow those sections to choose to observe it or make them not observe it, and keep the dominant part of the Reservation in line with the rest of the state by NOT observing it. Best thing about the last 5 1/2 years (except for October of last year and the first week of November), was not having to deal with DST.

Pick one and stick with it, I always say.

I think it should be against the law for the sun to set before 8:00 pm.

Over here, it is dark just before 6, which is sort of nice, but sort of sad. I suspect it will mostly be an issue on days I am hiking later.

I've lived in California for over 2 years, and I still hate Daylight Savings Time. It's cool to have daylight late into the evenings in the summer, but it stinks to have it reversed in early November so that the sun goes down at 5 o'clock.
