NOON is when the sun is the highest point in the sky. Daylight savings time shifts that one hour.

I never liked DST. I remember discussions in the 70s gas crunch.

All energy saving promises turned out to be completely unfounded in studies after implementation.

It comes down to if you want more daylight when you get home from work or not. Probably a muslim conspiracy to keep them from leaving work early.

I personally dislike DST but if they do anything, I’d say move it a half hour and leave it.

The whole thing is not about hours for me, it’s about light. During the “dark” months I am depressed and tend to hybernate in a huddle because it’s not only cold, it’s “dark”. I hate dark. I want light so I live for DST to arrive so I can live again and get outdoors in the “light” on those days that have more light in the evening after work. I love to walk in the sunshine. Come onnnnn spring and DST. I’m a miserable huddled lump right now, waiting for longer days of light.
