Goat,
Do you have a clock? We go by the sun! As do most in Mexico.

The article did not distinguish between Baja Norte, and Baja Sur, so I wonder if there will there still be two time zones on the peninsula, or just
one?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Senate approves legislation to eliminate Daylight Saving Time
https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/senate-approves-legislation...
"The new law will end DST in most of the country, but allows 33 northern border municipalities to continue to change clocks in order to stay in sync
with the U.S. states they adjoin."
Mexican Senate votes to eliminate daylight saving time
https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/10/27/mexico-da...
"Mexico's Senate has voted to do away with daylight saving time, except in northern areas that border the United States."

The English selection for that article:
However, according to the decree published in the DOF, summer time was abolished in most of the national territory, except in 27 municipalities
located on the northern border with the United States. Eleven in Coahuila, one from Nuevo León and ten from Tamaulipas, in addition to the five that
make up Baja California. While Sonora and Chihuahua will be left with a single schedule throughout the year.
Sonora, along with Sinaloa, Nayarit and Baja California Sur will be governed by Pacific time, which will be one hour behind Central time. Chihuahua,
on the other hand, was included in the Central time zone, which will occupy most of the national territory.
On the other hand, Quintana Roo will have the Southeast time zone, with one hour more with respect to the Center, while Baja California will occupy
the Northwest time zone, with two hours less in relation to the Center.

According to the articles I quoted, the Municipio de San Quintín would not honor DST... and could - in theory - be the only municipality along the
peninsula on PST (GMT -8) in the summer. The remaining 5 BC municipalities would be on PDT (GMT -7) and BCS would be on MST (GMT -7). Perhaps there's
more info to come?

Good grieff!!
It would be wonderful if CA and BCN would stay connected in the Pacific Time Zone, all year long.
The people of California VOTED to not change the clocks anymore (keeping it the 'more months long' PDT)...

People seem to get bent out of shape over changing their clock. Don’t know why. Takes about 1 minute of effort per year, and our phones update
time automatically.

Huh? Pacific time is not one hour behind Central Time. Mountain Time Zone is an hour behind Central Time. Pacific is 2 hours behind. And most of
Nayarit is on Mountain Time, aside from the "Riviera Nayarit", which officially is in the Mountain time zone, but goes by Central Time to coordinate
with PV, where most international tourists to the area fly into.
There's something off about that article. I highly doubt that Mexico is going to completely eliminate Mountain Time Zone.

surabi, why not mention that that is NOT a quote from me, but is part the translation from the website Mt. Goat posted? That is becaue you edited my
quote to make it seem as if it was my (faulty?) information
Thank you.

No, I edited it to include only the part I was responding to, because the rest was irrelevant to my post. I had no intention of making it seem like
your faulty information- I assumed that everyone is capable of reading the thread and seeing where the info came from. But apparently you weren't
capable of reading that I said "There's something off about that article" which makes it clear, I would think, that the info was from an article, not
from you.

I agree with that all...
FYI
It is possible to just copy the line with quoting, too.
For example:
"I edited it to include only the part I was responding to"
Have a nice night.

Agree. I have to change the clock on my old oven and microwave, pretty taxing. Everything else updates automatically, what's the problem?
OTOH, I think a lot of Nomads still ponder the 12:00 flashing on their VCR (or Laserdisc) and their Motorola StarTacs and Blackberry's probably don't
do time changes. At least their Clapper still works for the lights.
Here's a PSA for everyone: Change your smoke alarm batteries!

Seems like California tried doing away with DST back in the mid to late 70's but that meant that in mid winter kids had to go to school in the dark
and after a few got hit by cars they reverted back to DST. As I remember anyway.

I remember this happening nationwide just after I graduated in '77. IIRC, it was an attempt to conserve energy during an OPEC oil embargo circa '79,
but I digress. I also remember reverting from EDT to EST when kids had to walk to school wait for school buses in the dark. Where I grew up in
suburban NYC it became quite dangerous.
Given that I've been doing the time change thing my whole life, it isn't the extra effort every six months, but rather the dubious rationale behind
it. I've also found that the older I get, the longer it takes for my body to acclimate. All for the illusion of manipulating time...

Leave it on daylight savings time the whole year gets my vote. I would like that extra hour in the evenings much more than in the morning.
Oh well. I am in the minority sounds like.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
If you are in charge of your day, then nobody is telling you when to wake up, where to be at a particular time, when to go to bed, etc., so why do any
of you care about standard vs daylight savings time?
Woke!

Some people still have jobs that require them to be there. In the winter, during the four + months of standard time, one goes to work in the dark and
comes home in the dark... Some daylight home time is highly enjoyed and makes for good mental health.

The majority of people in this world don't enjoy that luxury, Goat. They have jobs or school to get to, babies and small children that get them up in
the morning and so on.
