Default Frustrating time changes

IMO.
I think, that the clocks, and calendar are beginning to be off synch with where they were setup,, even say 20 years ago. you can imagine that slowly over time, the hours and minutes are going to be off synch with the planets rotation.

as of now, i sit here, in my room, and its getting dark already, its 5:25 pm....
uhm, its going to time shift soon and then it will be dark before 5. thats simply rediculous. i remember as a kid, at times it was light till 8-9pm, then when the clock shifted for winter, it got dark around 6ish, maybe a little after. then ive noticed as the years go by, it keeps getting dark earlier.
there is no problem other than that the worlds clocks are slow.
I also loved getting up and driving to work in the dark, at 6-6:30, now no way. its light here in vegas, at 5 am. its stupid.

i propose a simple shift forward of the worlds clocks by about 2 hours. that would set it all straight again.
IMO. lates dave

Ah hell, as a kid, I only truely remember summers anyway since winters suck (destined to be a vert owner, I guess).


That's why days always seemed so long and it was light until who knows when.

Arizona and Hawaii both laugh at Daylight Savings Time. Makes life much simpler to just live in a better state.

I went to a leap year party once. It was off the hook.

they did not move the start of day-lite-savings-time much but move it they did.

the result is software had to change on alot of computers. it would have been better to leave it as is or just get rid of the whole concept like Arizona and Hawaii.
