Daylight saving time has always generated a lot of controversy here in the Bible belt. Opinions have ranged anywhere from Communist plot to interfering with God's time. One time back in the 1950s someone wrote a letter to the Des Moines Register complaining that the extra hour of sunlight was burning up her lawn.

On a related note, the International Date Line was originally proposed by a Norwegian named Alex Andersrag. Of course it was then generally known as the Alex Andersrag time band.
