Its always seemed to me the tradition of "saving time" in the summer is exactly backward. Why "save time" in the summer when there is already naturally more daylight? If the idea is to "save time" at the end of the day (sunset) why isn't this done in the winter, as Palm Springs attempted? This would make more sense to me. But the whole idea of "saving time" doesn't really make any sense to begin with, does it? Well, tradition is tradition. -Brooks On 2023-11-17 12:00 PM, Steve Allen via tz wrote:

Wasn't there a place in the shadow of a mountain where the clocks were put *forward* in the winter to make it light when people needed, while in the summer the sun shone over the top of the mountain so it did't matter? That was Palm Springs, California in 1946
