General Discussion

Let it be gradual and natural.

I lived in Hawaii about 20 years, 23 degrees off the equator, and what was natural there was to have very little change from season to season. Every so often some businessman from the Mainland would move in and start agitating for Daylight Savings Time. I still remember with amusement that the newspaper sent a photographer out to record schoolkids standing in pre-dawn darkness at the bus stop to show what they’d all have to wlk to school in if this dumb idea was adopted locally.

I’ve lived in SoCal practically a lifetime now, and have definitely adapted — but I still hope that someday we just drop a completely out-dated practice.
