My red-headed sister could not wear a watch. They always lost time,
etc. She called it her "electrifying personality".

I think it is a conspiracy! They change the time in the summer so that
the politicians can get an extra hour of golf, by making them open an
hour earlier! LOL

That makes sense (as a reason for DST), considering that politicians
are too stupid to notice that (an extra hour of light) isn't what
happens.

Hi,
Another useless American invention.
Cows give milk always same time. Chickens lay eggs
always same time. Changing times on 10 different time pieces in the
house twice a year is a chore for me. My watches are radio controlled
so it's automatic.
Instead of fiddling with time pieces, how about getting up 1 hour early
or late if we have to shift time.

It does give you an excuse to set the time right (which I always do,
not just adding or subtracting an hour) twice a year. Of course the
trouble it gives more than makes up for that.

The obvious thing to do, even on Lord Howe Island.
I'm working on a clock and countdown webpage (using PHP). Doing so
requires learning a lot about timezones and such nonsense. Lord Howe
Island (located near Australia). It observes Damn Stupid Time like a
lot of places, but it is the only one where the DST offset isn't 1
hour. It takes a couple extra lines of code just for that little
place.
