I would prefer standard time. The sun should be on the central meridian at noon. But if you can drop one of the colors out of the rainbow you might as well mess with time also.

Really? They dropped a color from the rainbow?

I would prefer they use the time standard that gives me more daylight in the evening in the gloomy Iowa winters.

I live in Arizona where we don't do time changes (except for some contrarian Indian reservations), but the sun hasn't been on the central meridian at noon in most places since railroad schedules created the need for time zones. Bessemer, MI and Bangor, ME are both in the eastern time zone, but Bangor is well over 1,000 miles east of Bessemer.

THANK YOU! It drives me nuts that people think that by adjusting to daylight time means more sunlit hours.

I prefer standard time too, which is how God created it.
