Daylight Saving Time Is Terrible: Here's a Simple Plan to Fix It (DST ends Sun, Nov 3)

59. I'm not against DST as a whole, but it may not be needed everywhere, either.

I live in Texas and most of this state would probably function just fine if we pulled an Arizona-type deal and put most of the state outside El Paso on year-round Standard time(while also expanding Mountain Time to *all* counties west of the Pecos), but also letting the counties bordering Ark., La., and eastern Okla., and the Houston area, and maybe Austin as well keep DST(if not including D/FW too)......Amarillo, San Antonio, Lubbock, San Angelo, Wichita Falls and Midland/Odessa would be fine without it.

On the reverse, a special extension of DST would probably work well for southern California; for example, the earliest sunset times in LA actually tend to occur in late November/early December, and not around the solstice; and at 4:45 pm at that(Needles & Nipton wouldn't even make it to 4:30!). My suggestion would be to extend DST right up until about late Nov. at the earliest, even going so far as the solstice itself, perhaps, at least for those counties bordering Arizona, if not L.A. as well.
