Standard time

I hear so many different things regarding DST. Are we going to have it all year round soon or what? I never know what to think or believe.

But yeah, darkness before 6 p.m. is terrible.

 

All I know is that last week, the kids around here were having to catch the school bus in the dark ... and that sucks, too.

 

I'd just as well do away with time zones, period. Put the whole country on Eastern Standard (or if one must, half on Eastern and half on Mountain). Call it American Time, dammit.

Time zones are quaint and harken back to the days when trains needed to run on time and every town had its own noon based on where the sun was.

 

I loved some Central Standard Time. Sadly, that lasted only two years. I call it the perfect time zone, but I may be underestimating Mountain time.

 

Central Time (a/k/a God's Time) is all I've lived in -- in the U.S. It's nice getting all the East Coast games in by about 9 p.m. If a West Coaster goes fast enough we can squeeze them in.

I'm no fan of waiting up to 11 for late local news ET and PT. I'm conditioned for 10 CT. (I don't know what Mountain Time, the bastard of time zones, does.)

 

FB...you can never appreciate CST until you live on the East Coast. But your points stand.

I'd like to live on Pacific time for a year, maybe two, just to experience it. You know, 9 a.m. college football, 10 a.m. NFL. Silly.

 

When I was in Europe, 7 p.m. CT games started at 2 a.m. on AFN. The Super Bowl started after midnight. But noon games were in prime time over there.

For the other extreme, I'd guess Hawaii would be cool — unless you were hauling ass home to catch MNF at 3:30 in the afternoon.

 

DVR is a must if you're living in Hawaii. I would always watch PTI at 11:30 a.m. before running off to work.

 

Give me year-round saving time. Being dark at 8 a.m. in December/January might suck, but I could get used to it.

 

I don't know, man. I was in college the year they experimented with year-round DST because of the oil shortage (1974, I think), and getting up to make an 8 a.m. history class in the dark wasn't much fun.

 

Great album.

 

Getting up to make an 8 a.m. history class in the light isn't much fun either.
