Boy! Are you people late! Europe (except, of course, for the British) did it a month ago. It didn't make any difference, I was still tired. Jim McKie Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, Amsterdam mcvax!jim

For all of you trying to adjust, please remember that Indiana, Arizona, Hawaii, and possibly Alaska never *ever* change their clocks. It's all you other folks who get to sleep an extra hour.. We (in Indiana) have to stay up LATER to watch David Letterman. ---- "Fritz! They've killed Fritz!" -- Allan Pratt ...ihnp4!inuxc!iuvax!apratt

Of course, you could simply ignore all this changing of clocks
and go on 24hr GMT as I did a few years ago...

Indiana's non observance of DST causes some programs that do their own time interpretation (e.g. Montgomery's EMACS) to report an off-by-one-hour time in Indiana six months in the year.

Well, in that case you may not have to change your clocks, but you have to remember that all your classes or meetings start an hour later starting this week. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

Or you could move to arizona. we have no need to save anymore daylight than we get already down here - so we just ignore it when the rest of the world starts doing funny things with their clocks. (so at 3AM this sunday morning everybody in arizona should get up, look at their clocks, do nothing, then go back to sleep!)

Apparently, all the traffic signs in Ontario have been doing just that
for many years, but no-one realized it until this week. Somebody got
off a traffic ticket for doing a turn at a time of day it was signposted
as illegal, on the grounds that the governing law did not give the
municipalities jurisdiction to say that the sign meant Daylight Saving
Time when the clocks did. So from now on, until the Province changes
the law, all traffic signs must be interpreted as Standard Time,
summer and winter.
More fun!

Thus, I've gotten so I can read an analog clock face showing GMT for most US time zones. It's more difficult in Europe with only a 1 or 2 hour difference (and I don't get much practice thereabouts), and impossible (for me) with digital displays. I had the revelation to adopt this bizarre affectation when I was hitching a ride with a real old geezer about this time 18 years ago. I tried to make conversation about setting the clock back, and he said to me: "You know, we used to say, 'There's Mr. Roosevelt's time, and there's God's time.'" -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 28 Oct 84 [7 Brumaire An CXCIII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7188 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** *** <--PLEASE NOTE NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!

Not everybody in the rest of the world. Still, it's refreshing to hear that people in Arizona don't use daylight savings time either. I've always thought it was one of those strange customs that nearly everybody did who lived on a continent, along with things like "winter" (whatever that is :-). -- Bob Cunningham ..{dual,ihnp4,vortex}!islenet!bob Honolulu, Hawaii
