Fascinating topic for Dull Men to discuss — Daylight “Saving” or “Savings” Time?:
This is an excerpt from: http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
Another fascinating topic: areas not using Daylight Saving Time (DST):
* Not all areas of the U.S. are covered. Most of Arizona does not use it. Here’s an article about this: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html
* Other areas that don’t use it are Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
* Indiana was another one until 2006.
More to discuss:
• Effects on our lives from losing the hour; compare this with gaining the hour in the fall.
• Whether you like DST or would prefer that we don’t have it.
Dream job:
Our Grover Click was in Vienna a few years ago on the day clocks changed. He visited the Uhrenmuseum (clock museum). He took the above photo of a staff member changing a clock — over 3,000 clocks to change.
Wikipedia has a 21-page article about Daylight Saving Time . . . which comes in handy if looking for something dull to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time
