End Daylight Saving Time

A website will let you print calendars that have sunrises and sunsets on them and optional moon rises and moon sets. You can use a standard of time other than government time. When natural time is different than government time, you might want to use natural time. I use the Pacific/Pitcairn time zone setting to provide for year round Pacific slow time. You can set latitudes and longitudes for the location to the nearest thousandth of a degree. You can use your time zone meridian for your longitude if you want to use local mean time. The web site is at this link. https://www.sunrisesunset.com/

On March 31, 2024 (Resurrection Sunday) at 01:O0 UTC; most of Europe will move their clocks ahead one hour to observe summer time. Belarus, Russia, and Turkey do not change clocks. The move will put government time further away from local mean time in the vast majority of the clock change areas in Europe. One exception is the part of Poland east of 22 degrees 30' E. The European Union considered ending the clock changes in the EU, but they have always had an excuse not to end the clock changes

On March 29, 2024 at 2:O0 AM Israel Standard Time, Israel goes to Israel Daylight TIme which is an hour ahead of Israel Standard Time. It would seem that orthodox Jews, Karaite Jews, and Messianic Jews should be against Israel Daylight Time, because Israel Standard Time has 12:O0 nearer to mean solar noon than Israel Daylight Time. Israel will remain on Israel Daylight Time until October 27, 2024

On March 10, at 2:O0 AM local standard time; most of the United States of America, Canada, and all of Cuba goes to Daylight Saving Time. Baja California Norte, Mexico and parts of Mexico that border New Mexico and Texas are also going to Daylight Saving Time. People that live in the time change areas will need to either set their clocks an hour ahead, or move the schedule of events in the time change areas an hour earlier than listed on published schedules. This will cause more tiredness for people who work day shifts and go to school in the day time. Just so people can have an extra hour of daylight after day shift work or day school. Currently, Arizona outside of Navajo Nation and Hawaii are the only states that do not change clocks. Many people have written that they are refusing to change their clocks. I am not changing most of my clocks. Of, the ten most populated countries in the world; only the USA changes clocks in most of the nation. Eight of those nations do not change clocks in any part of the nation. One of those nations is Indonesia. I attend a Zoom group that is based in Indonesia that meets Sunday through Friday at 1:O0 PM Pacific slow time. That is 4:O0 AM Monday through Saturday West Indonesia Time. Starting March 10 until just before November 3, I will have one extra hour after Sunday morning church to prepare for the Zoom meeting, but I will not have much time, after the Zoom meetings to prepare for Wednesday evening Bible class and Sunday night home group.

The Oregon state senate has passed a bill to place the Pacific Time Zone majority of Oregon on year round standard time, if Washington state and California agree to do the same. The bill goes to the Oregon state House. I favor this bill. I would have prefered a clause that would place the Mountain Time Zone part of Malheur County, Oregon to go on year round Mountain Standard Time if Idaho agrees to switch to year round Mountain Standard Time, for the Mountain Time Zone majority of Idaho.
