Fall forward, Spring back?

This weekend! Don't suffer from pre-ignition! Set your timing back at midnight. SPRING FORWARD!!! Speaking of which, this would be a great time to cheat the crank sensor on my '01 Ram a little bit forward.

i just wished SOMEBODY would decide on ONE time, and LEAVE IT ALONE !!!!   I did, I'm not touching a clock, well unless the power goes off which is pretty likely to happen at some point in the next 6 months.

If sunset is 9 PM with DST, it would be 8 PM without DST. Twilight would usually be a half hour later, and that would be a good time to start showing movies at a drive-in or to set off fireworks.

So if DST were to end as it seems today it has, what we have for daylight TODAY is what we would have year round. Dusk or sunset, or almost dark at 5:00 pm EST. Not like yesterday when it was still light at 5:00 pm EST and dark(er) at 6:00 pm EST? Darker an hour earlier year round even in the summer? Don't know if I like that?

If I was the one making the decisions on where the time would be, it would go back to the time before we started Day Light Saving Time!
The birds, bees, flowers, and trees and the rest of the Planet are on that time!

The birds, bees, flowers, and trees and the rest of the Planet are on that time! Railroad standard time? Prior to that, time of day was a local matter, and most cities and towns used some form of local solar time, maintained by a well-known clock (on a church steeple, for example, or in a jeweler's window).

Darker an hour earlier year round even in the summer? Don't know if I like that? You'd like even less if you lived in Indiana, or in Ohio west of Cleveland, and were in the Central time zone like we belong. Red lines are the borders for Central Time Zone. Blue line is the center. When Indiana was still on Central Time, sunset was around 4:30 at this time of year. Here's a site that lets you see Sunrise and Sunset times for wherever you like on any day you choose. --> www.timeanddate.com/sun/ <--

No, Indiana is naturally in the Central Time Zone. So is Michigan. Ohio used to be in the Central Time Zone too, but it was moved to all Eastern in 1918. Doesn't matter where politicians say to set the clocks, if the sun doesn't pass overhead some time between 11:30AM and 12:30PM, you're in the wrong time zone. Some reading here about Indiana time zones getting kicked back and fourth. --> www.indystar.com/indiana-time-zone-history-central-eastern-daylight-savings-time <-- --> wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana <-- When I graduated high school, all of Indiana was on Central Time. In the summer, sun could rise as early as 4:10AM, and set later the same day at 7:20PM. In winter, sun might not rise until 7:08AM and then set as early as 4:14PM. Politicians have since moved Indiana into the Eastern Time Zone and instituted DST so they and their friends could hang out longer at the golf course. Michigan on the other hand, was moved into the Eastern Time Zone in 1918 so that Wall Street Bankers and DC politicians wouldn't be confused by the largest auto manufacturing state being on a different time. Me, I just want 12 Noon to be somewhere around when the sun is straight up.

I don't know when you graduated, but when I was in HS, 79-83, Porter and Lake county were Central time, the rest was Eastern, may be a few other counties too but I dunno about them. About 85% of Indiana right now is Eastern time, the rest Central.
