This sounds like the holiday problem we have here. The country is divided in 3 regions, to spread holidays a little more over time. People living near the border of a region regularly have problems if their children are on different schools, lying in different regions, or one or both parents

Or just stick with Standard Time all year round. If businesses feel that they need to adjust (for whatever reason), simply state that their summer business hours are (for example) 10:00 ~ 18:00. Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 08:01:42 -0800 From: ps2...@yahoo.com Subject: DST option ? To: IBM
