    I'm glad they are picking one and going with it though.
    Where did you see this?

    But the bill, which next goes to the governor to be signed into law, has one caveat: South Carolina residents will still observe daylight savings time unless Congress passes a similar bill and the president signs it into law.

    This here shows it was signed by the governor back on 2/3. I could be reading it wrong though.

    In other words the whole effort was a huge waist of time.

    But...... they will say how both sides worked together to pass this bill when they should have been working on a worthwhile cause.

    I'm happy with the way it is. I like it when it switches in the fall so I'm not getting back from deer hunting at almost 9:00p.m. and then I'm ready to have to extra daylight in when it springs forward.

    Yeah. A 50 inch waist.

    Huge.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Always? Hardly. I remember when we didn't have it. SC went to DST in 1967. Farmers and drive-in theater owners were the biggest objectors. Farmers because waiting for the dew to dry on grain and hay made them have to wait until 7am before they could start. Milk production also dropped a little. Btw, the year we went to DST it wasn't about energy, regular gas was 23.9˘ a gallon and premium was 27.9˘.

    I agree, LBJ did do a lot of shitty things but the 1966 UTA law didn't require states to go to DST. It was and is still voluntary. The Uniform Time Act said if states adopted DST they observe a uniform time within the standard time zones. Arizona has never observed DST, except for the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. They do it to stay in sync with all of the reservation because it encompasses parts of Utah and New Mexico.

    North Carolina didn't adopt DST until 1970. So for 3 years SC had it and NC didn't. I remember when it lasted 10 months in 1973 because of the oil embargo.
