As a further aside, I know a fellow who did a hitch in the navy, and was almost violently opposed to DST. In his defense, he does have a severe case of OCD. His rationale: "Noon should be when the sun is exactly aligned North-South." (he had no idea what the 'meridian' is, but close enough...) I pointed out to him that this only occurs in Standard Time if you happen to live on the very eastern border of a time zone. In SLC, in about the middle of the mountain time zone, the sun is still close to a half-hour from being precisely aligned north-south at noon MST. Nobody uses Local Time anymore. If he happened to live near the western border of his time zone, the sun would be nearly an hour off even in Standard Time. He didn't get it. Kind of a disgrace for a navy vet, IMO. I guess they don't teach all recruits navigation.
