Daylight savings.


The time change has screwed me up again. Now when the time on PKF says 7:35 it is 8:45 here. I wish they would just drop the whole thing.

You know what shocks me even more than the fact that it exists at all? The fact that THEY CHANGED IT in 2007! Sometimes I wonder why they can't just leave crap alone :lol:

Some government funded study concluded that it would be better for the environment to do so BUT reserved the right to revert back if they decide it was better how it was. (Not telling you which government it was that made that line in the fine print ; )

Indiana didn't use it for years and then switched (in the last decade or two) to using it. To the best of my knowledge, it never appeared to produce any statistical improvement.

Correction/addendum, Indiana has gone all over the place with following/not following since the inception of DST.
