Hey Ya'll, Grand Pa Jones wrote a song about this. He said they should have shot the man who thought up Day light Savings Time. Of course it could be worse, we could live in Indiana where they have 3 different time zones all the time depending which county you live in. There are some counties in that state that don't recognize DST at all and others that are either an hour ahead or an hour behind those counties. What a headache, if you woke up at 6AM in one county and had to be at work, two counties over where it is already 8AM. No foolin, thats the way it used to be in that state unless they have finally got together on this. Dave.

You,re right about the folks in Indiana. The definition of a Hoosier is - a hillbilly that didn't make it to Michigan. They came north out of Kentucky and Tennessee to work as limberjacks (alongside Paul Bunyan) in Michigan's forests kn the 1800s, and in the factories in the 1900s.

A major highway in US-31, traversing notth through the stste, and up into Michigan. To many there, the three Rs are "Readin, wrattin, n Raute 31 nawrth."

Little Time tidbit I just ran across.

A curious nod to an episode from history and "loss of time" manipulation I'll call "A Stitch In Time" —

Beyond a "loss" of a mere hour, the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar was a "loss" of 11 days. The change was made necessary because the calendar created under Julius Caesar in 45 BC miscalculated the time beyond 365 days for an accurate year, thus requiring the "loss" of 11 days to catch up. This occurred by a law adopted in England and its colonies, American as well, in 1752, wherein the Gregorian calendar mostly made up for the numeric mistake.

Many historians, although some dispute exists, recount riots in the English populace resulted because many thought they had been robbed of eleven days of their lives. Other accounts of riots in other countries at other times when the switch occurred attribute the displeasure of the rioters to their realization that they were to be cheated out of 11 days of rent for which they paid. I don't know what this difference in motivation/reasoning says of the English people of the time.
