Allen Worsham Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 This has always messed me up. Especially after my wife's parents moved to Yuma Arizona 21 years ago where they do not have Daylight Savings Time. We would always get calls from my wife's mom to us in California either too early in the morning or too late at night waking us up. Link to comment

HandyDan Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Just as a reminder we are on Daylight Savings Time and are going back to Standard Time tomorrow at 2:00AM turning the clocks back to 1:00AM Link to comment
Grandpadave52 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 For years most of Indiana remained on Standard Time, then a bunch of politicians thought it would be best for commerce to observe DST. Only a politician could think you can save time or daylight by altering a clock. I always thought daylight went from sun-up to sun-down regardless of what the clock indicates. Link to comment
Al B Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I just set the clock to whatever time everyone else does. It doesn't make any difference in my daily routine. Link to comment
LarryS Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 @GrandpaDave52 Is this true??? All of the times I've been to Indiana. I haven't seen this sign. Did you turn your clock back 200 years last night? Link to comment

Gene Howe Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 There are some fairly progressive places in Indiana. Mostly around the edges. Link to comment
Allen Worsham Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 So as usual my wife and I woke up at our normal body/brain clock time of 545am. Which means with the time changing back it was 445am. So our Miniature Schnauzer named Sylar (our kids named him after a bad guy in a comic book) was scratching on the door letting me know that he wants his breakfast. So I fed Sylar and then changed all the clocks in the house and went back to bed. Sylar finished his food and wants to play while I am online checking the news. Oh well...gotta love that time change.

Cincinnati is just a few miles from the Indiana border, so it's more or less part of the Cinci metro area. Guys from IN at work used to call it "slow time or fast time." But most that commuted across the line just stayed on whatever time we were on. Whilst those in the opposite corner of the state were more in tune with Chicago (central time). Out in the middle, who knows? So no wonder Hoosiers were confusers. Link to comment
