I was just <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time" REL="nofollow">reading</A> more about DST, too.<BR/><BR/>Apparently there might also be some energy savings from moving the time around... maybe since we don't need to use our lights as much?<BR/><BR/>Still, it's weird to consider that March 9, 2008 from 2:00am to 2:59am does not exist. :)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244577723092436958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27237113.post-78976118893658908702008-03-15T21:37:00.000-07:002008-03-15T21:37:00.000-07:00Actually, prior to 2006, some parts of Indiana (fi...Actually, prior to 2006, some parts of Indiana (five counties near Cincinnati, OH; Louisville, KY; Chicago, IL; and Evansville, IN) did use Daylight Saving Time. The entire state now follows the practice. Currently, the only US states not observing DST are Hawaii and Arizona. Several US territories also stay on standard time all year.

My vote would be to just adjust everyone to DST all year!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865645292824953080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27237113.post-35506684520395260362008-03-13T13:27:00.000-07:002008-03-13T13:27:00.000-07:00Embracing the risk! :)I feel the same way, MB.

Thanks to you (and others), too, for challenging me.<BR/><BR/>I have a sneaking suspicion that all the problems caused by DST might just outweigh its benefits. :)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244577723092436958noreply@blogger.com
