And then there were two...
I live in central Indiana, conservative bastion of the US. Change is feared here. Funny thing is many people are about to go through the biggest "change" they've ever experienced. Daylight Saving Time hits most of Indiana in about 4.5 hours from this typing. The local newspapers have been egging on the naysayers and yet, we barrel onward toward our inevitable merging with the modern world.
So why "And then there were two?..." Well of course there are still Arizona and Hawaii that have not embraced DST. Why? I don't know. In Indiana it seemed to be farmers working during daylight hours and our relative western position relative to the rest of the Eastern timezone and the fact that parts of the state were connected to major cities in the Eastern time zone and others were connected to the Central timezone.
Then there are those of us that have longed for DST because in the summer the sun will set only a little before 10 PM and we can enjoy outdoor activities after a day's work. Most of us are getting tired of the whiners complaining about everything. The newspaper seems to have isolated the 16 people who give a crap and place a new interview about how this is ruining their goatranching business because the grass will burn from the extra hour of daylight.
Anyway, I'm glad it's here.

Daylight savings time? What a boondoggle. I suppose its to be expected. Its been downhill in Indiana ever since the communists began polluting our precious bodily fluids with flouridated water. And don't get me started about the aliens. I mean, its perfectly obvious. The 500 is not what it was. There is no single class high school basketball tournament. Bobby Knight is gone. The toll road is owned by foreigners (and I don't just mean people from Ohio). And now, more daylight! We curse that glowing orb, yes we do!
