Don't forget the more North you get the longer the days are. Much more total daylight regardless of the time zone.

Trying to do night tank gunnery at Camp Grayling MI in late June (say, June 20) has a very short period of complete darkness in which to shoot. Only 5-1/2 hours of darkness since it's quite light after and before actual sunrise. EENT is about 2300 and BMNT is about 0430. Here at Fort Lee VA EENT is about 2100 and BMNT at 0530. (All times corrected to EDT. US Naval Observatory 2019 data.)

I also remember walking out of a restaurant in Hawaii about 1900 and it was pitch dark on 20 June.

Our's sunset time today is 7:39pm. It's nice that it is still light out. This is when people start coming out of their houses after dinner.

It's that time again!

If I don’t do it by one a.m. does that mean it doesn’t count?

We have a big clock in the basement that never got changed in fall, so now it is going to read accurately tomorrow.

My cat will be waking us up at 6 am now instead of 5 am, so that is a plus, until she gets back to her routine.

I never have to change the clock in the S since it is in storage from November to April/May.

I don’t miss changing time. It took us forever to change all of the clocks and timers at work!

robb

Power went out here overnight so I would of had to reset all the clocks anyways.

Umm, it's a human created (and railroad enforced) thing. Before the railroads standardized time, towns ran on their own time. Made for confusing railroad schedules.

Try the "half hour" time zone in Newfoundland! Daylight time was the subject of county legislation when I was growing up in Ohio. Some "Amish" areas stayed on standard time all year round.

Time Zone Fun!
