  Ah, if only it were so for the rest of the country. At least we'd know 
what time it really is without mental pause. In the sixties, after 
'Johnson Time' became the law of the land, a lot of people were upset at 
the prospect, even worried that their flowers and gardens couldn't take 
an extra hour of heat. Also, no one really knew anymore when to come 
inside for supper? Something was sorely amiss in the land and it's been 
that way ever since.

  Prior to national bias time, darkness use to descend in time for 
people to actually enjoy the cool refreshing breezes of evening for a 
few hours before sleep. Now, thanks to a floating standard of dubious 
value, long gone are the days of drive-in theaters and Summer evening 
social activities that had previously begun at a reasonable hour. I miss 
the good old days. Sniff. :'(
