I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

The profile page shows 3 hours from Hawaiian time.

Sorry, don't know anything about Tapatalk except it seems to take  extra time to "compile" board posts for mobile devices. 

I've noticed on a couple of v-bulletin-type boards that apparently, this extra time will "time out" the connection and you have to re-post... at least that's my theory.  Quite annoying, especially here and on another v-bulletin variation-based board.

Sooooo.... I guess that remark is a joke relating to the perceived delays in posting?

Sorry to sound stupid, but is that what you're getting at?

I think the answer is that Hawaii doesn't face that horrible affliction called daylight savings time. The time you stated in your post and the corresponding time stamp look correct.

I know, that's why I corrected it and was testing it.  Daylight "Savings" Time (DST) is good in some respects, bad in others.  The switchover happens twice a year, and it throws me off every time for a couple of days.  My Inner Pagan feels disoriented and confozzled until it re-attunes to what the clocks are saying. 

Farmers hate it because their livestock is used to solar time for feeding, milking, getting back to the barn, etc, and the farmers have to live with the rest of the world... for example, WRT what time the feed stores and banks and grocery stores open and close.

I'm like that livestock, I guess.

Even my computer clock got messed up for a couple of hours, what with conversions from "its" Greenwich Mean Time to the clients' times across the nation --which also involves the day of the month.

I believe Utah and Arizona, Colorado's border neighbors, do not have DST, leading to more problems when one crosses the State borders.  I've often wondered how Over-The-Road (OTR) truck drivers handle that in terms of their logged driving times, but I never asked one.

It is kind of nice, though, with these higher latitudes, to  come home from work and still have some daylight to play in.  June/July, sunset comes around 9:00 PM, and it is very pleasant to be able to take a nice stroll in the cool evening while it's still daylight. 

But when we switch the clocks back an hour in the Autumn, it's depressing since one week you leave work in daylight, the next week you leave work and it's dark as a bat's groin outside.
