Time For A Change

So, here we are at another time change, the ol' Spring Forward/Fall Back syndrome.

And it's also the time of year when we get more (and more) folks complaining about it and calling for an out-dated system to end. Maybe it's time we ALL change and drop this Daylight Savings Time thing. Hell, Arizona and Hawaii don't even do the DST dance.

We all LOVE more daylight at the end of the day, don't we? It seems like we can actually accomplish things around the house after the work day ends. And seeing the sun set at 4:30 in the afternoon in December is just plain depressing.

Here's my solution. When it comes time to Fall Back in 2020, let's just fall back a half-hour. AND NEVER DO A TIME CHANGE AGAIN!

We balance the calendar out a year, we ask Arizona and Hawaii to get on board, and off we go.

Yes, a half-hour is an odd thing. But on a trip to Australia, we went back a half hour from Cannes to Alice Springs, then back forward a half hour from Alice Springs to Sydney. So I'm not that crazy to suggest it.
