    I wish they'd just leave the effin clock alone. Set it and forget it.

    I don't have "summer vacation" anymore, so I don't give a flying Romeo Foxtrot what time it gets dark.

    That's all. Just pure, selfish personal preference.

    Aren’t there some counties or maybe towns that don’t “spring forward” or “fall back”? Or is that just a myth?

    I think there are some counties in Indiana that don't bother with it!

    "Before 2006, most of Indiana did not observe Daylight Saving Time. However, some counties decided to use DST, creating confusion about what time it was around spring and fall.

    To avoid the confusion, Indiana passed a bill in 2005 ensuring that the entire state would use DST from April 2006, regardless of the time zone."
    What Time Zone Is Indiana?

    Living on the Michigan side of the border and working in Indiana used to be interesting. I'd leave for work at 11:45 and arrive at 10:55. Of course it also took over an hour to drive the few miles home after work.
