I realized (as I was commuting) this morning, that some people must live near timezone borders.

How does that work for you? Do you think in work time at home? Home time at work?

It must be easier these days with smartphones and smart watches automatically adjusting time according to you location?

Share your experience please, I'm curious!

Oregon Senate just passed that bill. Here's hoping.

The bill they passed would keep us on standard time though, so you’re still stuck with 4:30pm sunsets in Dec/Jan. I’d rather stick with the current system until we can get permanent DST.

Yeah, given my druthers I'd rather summer time, but that seems unlikely happen any time soon. So honestly, I'll be happy if we no longer have to change clocks twice a year regardless of which we align with.

I’m with you. Also, everyone talks about early sunsets being the worst, but personally I find it way easier to wake up to sunlight so I’d rather have the daylight in the morning. I would miss the late summer sun though. A little. Not enough to want to change my clocks though. It’s bad enough for adults, but anyone with children or a dog suffer even more. My kids are not babies anymore but it was the worst when they were, and it’s still not great now.
