Re: [FRIAM] Yearly rant about this daylight savings stuff

[Steven A Smith]

I enjoy it. It's like losing a $20 bill in the spring, then finding it in your 
coat pocket in the fall.
My mother ran a fun scam on my sister and I at Christmas for a number of 
years before we saw through it, which of course ruined the magic of it.


When we would break out the Xmas decorations in December, she would 
"discover" that each of our stockings still had a small but fun present 
in the toe that we had "overlooked" the year before.


I also like Calvin's "Daylight Savoring Time".  Thank you for sharing Nick.

Another real world example: Our skype Italian lessons always hit a bump because 
Italy does not change their clocks when we do! Even worse!

Well, not too long ago either, there were not time zones, but much smaller time 
areas .. aiming for noon = sun overhead. I got that from reading british 
detective stories where the watch of the murder victim is carefully observed to 
find out where & when he died.

Rant:
Why do we change around the clock?

From google searches, the US is one of the few countries left that does this 
ritual.
Here is what I found:


[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/16/DST_Countries_Map.png]

Blue and Orange follows Daylight Savings Time rituals, Light Gray have 
"reformed" from it, Dark grey have abstained (forever?).  Most of the 
"developed" world seems to continue the habit.

Having lived in AZ, I have some sense of the history there, including the 
"notch" of the Navajo Nation which follows NM time (their capitol Window Rock 
being in NM).  I was unaware of the Canadian and the Sonoran abstinence.   
Mongolia and Iran are mild surprises.  I thought *all* of Aus went with DST.   
Having friends in Melbourne, I am always frustrated by the "double shuffle" 
that occurs twice a year since we are out of sync as well as out of phase, so 
we range from being 0-2 hours off of "longitudinal" clock differences depending 
on time of year... for 4 distinct periods of difference!

As much as *I* don't live by a clock, I am still effected by the shifts...  I 
wish we could (all) stay on a single plan, preferably with the sun straight 
overhead at noon.
