Ugh - this is a very sore topic for me. When I moved from New York to Indiana, amidst the many disappointments (no ocean! hideous tap water! you call this pizza?! tornado!!) I was thrilled to say goodbye to DST. When DST was put into effect here (sob!) I began referring to it as "stinking bonehead loser time change" (SBLTC) and my family has picked up the jargon, to my great amusement [

I generally keep a clock or two on EST year-round as an act of protest, including the one in my car. However, every time I bring my vehicle in for maintenance the clock gets reset by the helpful mechanics who must be rolling their eyes at how I am so clueless that I can't figure it out on my own.
Sigh - I will be thinking fondly of Hawaii and your steady reliable Standard Time when I am robbed of a precious hour of sleep tonight and begin a week of jet-lag.
