Daylight-Saving Time Warp

Posted on November 4th, 2005

Recently, San Francisco exited Daylight Saving Time. Being from Hawaii, where people live in grass shacks without electricity and don't subscribe to complicated ideas like DST, I don't know squat about what it's all about. So naturally I was very curious as to why 'they' would want it to get dark earlier all of a sudden in late October. Upon doing some research, it does make more sense. In the summer, we shift the clocks to utilize more of the abundant daylight time, then revert back in winter. The main reasons seem to be energy savings, road safety, and crime prevention (and making the public happier in summer?) - I just got confused since the reverting part of it makes less common sense. I guess time is very subjective... Some interesting things to note is that Indiana has a crazy screwed up system, Hawaii and Alaska don't utilize DST, and the idea is quite old - dating back to Ben Franklin. The whole weird Indiana thing makes me ponder about driving from one town to another over a state line and losing or gaining time. That must be very surreal.
