Don’t think they do in Indiana either, but not sure. I would prefer standard time year round, but I know most would prefer day light savings time.

We get shorter and shorter relief from DST every time Congress gets their panties in a twist and decides to torture us some more.

And I lived 22 years out of state dealing with time changes.

'Springing forward' was the worst. No spring at all!

It this is my first time hearing it. And it gave me a welcome laugh, it brought the steam down a notch after reading Lou Houltz comments at the SC KKKlan rally. Thanks and the image was cool as well. Not a fan of moving time ahead an hour after this last birthday. I would like to move it back a decade.

The photo ran as the annual April Fools Day joke story a few years back, sponsored by the National Trust. A pretty funny story, here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/news/moving-the-avebury-stones-for-british-summer-time|

Stone circles were common enough everywhere in the mountains. Druids built them as weather computers and since it was always cheaper to build a new 33-MegaLith circle than upgrade an old slow one there were generally plenty of ancient ones around.
