19. I remember my first trip to Cincinnati for a conference

and during my off time, I hopped a Greyhound bus to Indianapolis (so I could say I had been to Indiana ) and ran into that time thing (especially trying to figure out what I should do with the depart/arrive times on the bus schedule ).

The way they USED to have daylight savings was "April / October", which are closer to when the equinoxes (equal days/nights) happened. Then some idiots changed it to starting early March and ending early November.

Nearly two-thirds of parents (64%) said they would be concerned about their children’s safety if they had to go to school before the sun comes up. That would be common if permanent daylight saving time were adopted.

“For far too long, we’ve changed our clocks in pursuit of daylight, while incurring public health and safety risks in the process. Committing to standard time has health benefits and allows us to end the biannual tug of war between our biological and alarm clocks,” AMA Trustee Alexander Ding, MD, MS, MBA, a diagnostic and interventional radiologist, said at the time.
