Huh? Wait six months and then buy a new VCR. Or change the clock yourself if you want to save the dough. I don't see the problem. Microsoft will be offering a Windows XP fix if extended daylight becomes law.

Indiana does not participate either.
Indiana is divided into two time zones. Only the Eastern Time Zone portion of Indiana does not do DST. The Central time zone part does. That way, for six months of the year, all of Indiana is operating in the same time zone, so to speak.

I don't see the problem... My Grandfather Sills an Indiana farmer solved the problem.
He had two clocks in the kitchen. One for city time (CDT) and one for his farm time (CST).

I think we should have one day of Standard (not Daylight) time - every February 29. This would be a bone tossed to those who do not want any Daylight time. Note this should apply ony when February 29 falls on a 4th Sunday :)

I think it is great that our elected representatives are able to give us more daylight. I knew they had a purpose.

Ummm... if you're not a morning person, then you should love this proposal, unless you hate the sunlight...

As a practical matter, that would work only if businesses also agreed to start one hour earlier. Believe me, I'd love to go to work at 6 AM if I could.

It would make better sense to have standard time all the time. Preach it!
I hate daylight savings time.
It is hell if you are in agriculture. You either have to rewrite all the schedules or have people hanging around doing nothing as the cows don't care about the stupid clock.

I bet you would like this idea. Change clocks 4 times a year.

While computer software can be reprogrammed to accommodate different dates, hardware presents a trickier problem. I've incorporated DST into firmware for a few products. The code is surprisingly simple, actually. That said, changing the rules at this point in the game would be really dumb, annoying, and assinine.

The problem in the middle of summer is that it gets light too early...maybe we should have double daylight time (two hours ahead of standard time) for a couple of months around the summer solstice. That would give us a lot of daylight in the evenings...perhaps too much for families with young children. What we need to do is shift the extra daylight itself a few months, so we could average 12 hours of daylight a day.
Actually, at the Time Museum in Rockford, I saw a clock that was designed to give 12 hours of daylight a day. Daytime and nighttime hours were different lengths, set by separate adjustable pendula.

"Maybe other states should consider defiance."
The Navajo reservation goes w/DST but most of Indiana does not.

Fine, then you move to the Congo, Indonesia, or some other equatorial rain forest. Or Somalia. Maybe Brazil or Ecuador. Your pick.
