^^^ Problem solved
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Let's go with fall back leap seconds every couple decades instead..
(P.S. Unfortunately, the earth's spin has been slowing down because the moon is sucking away the earth's energy. Every time the high tide of the Atlantic Ocean slams into the east coast of North America, the earth slows its spin a little bit. The definition of the second is based on the speed the earth was spinning back in 1820, and we have slowed down since then. As a result, we occasionally have to add in a "leap" second to the world's clocks.

They're going to switch to year round DST out here in the PNW, and as soon as they do, people will begin to bitch about it and demand we go back. Guess what: in November, December, January and a good chunk of February, it's still going to be too dark to do jack shit outside after work, but on top of that, it will also be dark until damn near 10:00am.
I'm a fan of the time change, personally. There's something about having daylight after 4:30 or 5:00PM in December that just seems wrong to me.

Says the guy living on the east side of the time zone right after a guy living on the west side of the time zone complains.
I think we just need more micro-time zones to make sure that the sun rises at just the perfect time for everyone. People could choose where they live, based on the average sunrise and sunset time. Perhaps own multiple homes in multiple micro-time zones so that they can alter the time based on the time of year. This approach will surely promise widespread happiness through every region.

Aside from the southeast, there isn't a corner of the country I haven't lived in, and that includes every time zone represented in the lower 48. I'm cool with DST and with the twice-yearly time change regardless of where I live. I truly don't understand the hullabaloo over it. If changing the clocks twice a year is too much for you, move to Guam.

I'm coming out as "trans time zones". I'll just set all my clocks and watches to my personal temporal orientation and sue anybody who tries to force me to follow the defined norms.

Kind of interesting article about that from yesterday: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/02/u...sultPosition=1
The big Navajo reservation straddles state lines so they opted to go with DST. The Hopi reservation is inside the Navajo rez, but only in AZ, so they don't. Slightly confusing I bet.

Nearly missed my flight yesterday morning and showed up at the wrong time for dinner due to this whole mess.
Time doesn’t march on, it stays the same. We march on.

I really don't care if we get rid of the time changes but, if we do, I want all-time DST. Having that extra hour of daylight in the summer is what makes mountain biking and golfing around here so great. We lose that hour and getting in 18 holes or a long ride after work is pretty much over. Without that, it may just as well be winter full-time.

you know that we have DST because some entomologist wanted more time to study bugs originally and then it was later adapted most places to increase daytime productivity.
i'm against it, I live on standard time 365, not following the notions of a guy that liked bugs.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

Guys, it's Daylight Saving Time. Not "Savings" time.
