Lots more than one, misophist--more like 70. Here's more than you ever wanted to know about Daylight Saving Time, including a page on Daylight Saving Time around the world. I never realized that in 1986 Congress added an extra 4 weeks of DST. Hmmm...wonder what else they did while we weren't looking? I do remember going to my med school classes in the dark in 1974.
This is one of the things that DougR and I have in common! We each live in a state that doesn't do DST (Hawaii, Arizona...and most of Indiana). What it means to me is that when I call my sister in Massachusetts or my daughter in California I have to remember what season it is (not always an easy task here!) in order to know how many hours behinder we are.
