Time Zones were established when the primary means of long-distance travel were trains and based upon the speed of the trains at that time, as well as the Sun's position at Noon in any given area. Daylight Savings Time was established much later on and was intended to allow workers to go to work, and leave, during a much more well-lit time as lighting systems weren't as good as they are now. Not all states observe Daylight Savings Time (such as Arizona) and it is a very outdated concept. :-\

Thank u for explaining that Max. . . now I kinda understand more than I did LOL O0

Sure. It's outdated as all get out.. but that didn't stop them from federally legislating it to start earlier and end later this year.

BTW, Daylight Saving Time started during WWII (and it's 'saving' not 'savings'; popular misconception). But then, really, it's not saving squat since there's still 23 hours, 59 minutes and 12 seconds in a day regardless.

Here in Indiana we don't observe it.  It's kinda nice when the time does change though cause I live right on the Ohio line....so on TV we've got 2 chances to watch shows and stuff like that.....but they've voted to next year put us on Daylight Savings Time.  It's not finalized yet but we may have to change our time

Hawaii doesn't do daylight savings time either, and part of another State.  Can't remeber which one that is.  They think it saves every one energy $$'s.  I don't get it though and hate it.  I am sure no one does their best work the first or second week of the thing so that would be a waste of $$'s.  Did that make any sense?  If not it is because I am trying to adjust to the time change.  :P

Wow I never knew that not everyone did that.  I truely thought the whole world did it at the same time hehe well maybe not at the same time but really I thought at least everyone in the US did it.  You never get too old to learn something new.  Thank you for the new thing I can add to my brain  lol=    Oh and by the way-  Why does everyone not need to do it?  Or why do we have to?  Is this too many questions for this late of an hr?  :P

Hi Betty, I moved from Oregon to Arizona and back to Oregon again.  I can't remember what time it is anywhere.  Really liked not having to change the clocks.  Hate that, especially the ones that you have to run ahead 24 hrs.  Lucky you.  Where in AZ are you?

This is the only time of the year that I'm not confused.  I get to sleep in an extra hour  (hurray Beer.  Wait, that's not right) :)
