Rick,
I completely agree with you. Actually, if it were called "Daylight
Moving/Shifting Time" I might not feel so bad about it. I just find it to
be a giant PITA.
It is interesting to note that DST seems to be more important, and
ingrained, in those highly populated areas at higher latitudes. Hmm. Then,
I have to laugh here with many of the dairy farmers in my area that think
DST is bunk because, as they say, "Ain't seen no cow that reads a clock
yet!" I am certain that my grass does not care what "time" it is either! LOL!
Best,
Duncan

(It has its uses though...)
Daylight is a finite resource... Changing the clock doesn't "save" anything,
it just moves it...
I guess calling it "Daylight MOVING Time" has no sex appeal... ;-)

Yes, much of the patch might do time zones overseas, but it also provides
the new pointers (math values) for our USA systems that do live in DST
areas to re-compute when DST starts and stops.
