I have gone back to putting all my working clocks on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) except my shortwave radio clock. I intend to have them on PDT until November 2 for those who don't change to Pacific Standard Time automatically and November 3 02:O0 PDT for those who switch automatically. I am now using PDT (whatever the government sanctioned time for Washington state is) in my communications with citizens of other countries. The key catalyst for this change is we now have a participant in our Indonesian Zoom group who is a resident of the Netherlands. The Netherlands along with most of Europe observes daylight saving time which they call "Summer Time" from 01:O0 UTC the last Sunday in March to 01:O0 UTC the last Sunday in October. Our Zoom meeting starts at 11:O0 PM Central European Summer Time (CEST) and 10:O0 PM Central European Time (CET). That evangelist resides in Wierden, The Netherlands. Wierden is currently running CEST which is 94 minutes ahead of Wierden's local mean time. Longview, Washington and Olympia, Washington's PDT is 72 minutes ahead of local mean time in both Longview and Olympia. I still advocate going to year round Standard (Winter) time. That would sync better with most of the population of the world which does not participate in changing clocks.
