    Haha I wish! There is a law of sorts that Maine will give up daylight savings time IF one of the other states of New England repeals DST. Yup you guessed it. The 5 states are waiting for some one else to make the first step.

    Well, you’re the furthest east, so you would probably be looking at a sunset at 4:00 pm.

    Unless it is summer time. Sunset during the summer is around 11pm at night. Then the sun rises around 3 am.

    Since I'm the yard dog now can I back a bunch of trailers into each other and blame daylight savings time even tho I work at night? There are some technicalities so I'm not sure if it counts but I wanna do my part lol.

    It’s pointless.

    farmers go 24/7 during harvest season. There is a thing now called “lights”.
