I'm usually up before 5:00 a., but the new law is fine by me. One fewer thing to confuse me.

Trust me, there will now be a whole new round of bellyaching about the fact that we no longer change time. The unwritten rule of complainers*: "all change is a direct personal insult."

* Irony acknowledged. The DH, interleague play, and expanded playoffs must de destroyed.

Yeah, but i'm not sure I love the idea of 9 AM sunrise though either.

Whatever. My enjoyment of the bellyaching was fun while it lasted. I also like forced change as much as I complain about it usually. It's often invigorating.

Then again, it would be kind of nice to have that extra week or two of yard cleanup time on the weekdays in mid-november.

Don't forget that the sun doesn't instantly spring up at sunrise. It starts brightening what, an hour before?

9:00 AM sunrise doesn't necessarily mean inky black night until 9.
 
Seeing quite a few sleep and health experts agree that getting rid of the time change is good. But they say we should adopt Standard time instead as our natural "internal clocks" have evolved to be more closely in line with that. One of the articles I saw indicated that there was some correlation of health related issues tied to sleep cycle being more common on the western edge of a time zone vs the eastern which I found interesting. I am currently in Mountain Time in Idaho and have a friend in Colorado also on Mountain. We were talking early morning the other day and they stated that sunlight was streaming into their window but it had yet to even get barely light in Idaho. But it was the same time of day.

I feel myself agreeing to keep Standard more than DST as the permanent. I am more of a morning person though.

If we do adopt permanent, how long before its abandoned again? It lasted for all of 2 years in the 70s before the time change was brought back.
 
If perma DST is adopted, I wonder if we'll see a movement to have most of the UP observe Central Time.

I think you could also draw it at the straight line between Schoolcraft/Alger/Luce/Mackinac - that's pretty much the "majority Packers/Lions fans" line.
 
The Packers/Lions fan line is much further south. Think Lansing. :-p

Would it be weird if the entire state went to Central time?

I can't even imagine living in Ontonagon County. Sun probably sets like they're in Anchorage.

It's not quite that bad. Daylight every Dec/Jan is roughly 8:30a-5p under EST. Shift that forward an hour in a perma-DST scenario, assuming the rest of the western UP doesn't move to observe CDT.

Yeah it’s around 10am for sunrise here in Dec/Jan (11 in perma DST).
