Sol DST

Sol went to turn on the TV to watch a show about the history of cheese he watched every day at 7 pm. However, when he turned it on there was some documentary on corn on, part of the grains and cereals series. Fascinating though it was, he was rather upset that his show was cancelled or that they at least changed the time and did not bother to tell the viewers. He turned it off and called up Gaia to complain. "Gaia! They changed my show on me!"

"The cheese one? Did they change the day?"

"It is on every day, but it is corn instead! They had better not have cancelled it!"

"Did you check to see if they pushed it to a later time slot or something?"

"They didn't, the next show is about radishes. They also never said they were moving the time!"

"Wait . . . moving the time? You are in Arizona not California right now, right?"

"Yes, what does that have to do with anything?"

"Daylight savings time just started!"

"The whosawhatsa started? Saving daylight? Why bother? Most of them stay inside during it anyhow!"

"They shift their clocks foward an hour, to make up for setting them back in winter which they do so that it is sunny earlier in the morning than it would otherwise be at that hour in winter."

"How odd, messing with time like that. No one told me! I have not set my clocks!"

"No, you do not set your clocks. Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time."

"And why are they saving it in summer anyhow? Shouldn't the daylight savings be in winter? And, you are not changing your rotation any for this nonsense are you?"

"Of course not. If I did change my rotation to account for the current phase of my orbit they would not be messing with their clocks."

"Well I sure do not intend to rise any earlier or set any later for their crazy time distortions!"

"Then Arizona is a perfect place for you to reside."

"But my TV show!"

"Is on an hour earlier. Record it and watch it when you want to or something."

"Heresy!"

"So, I should manifest to the humans and tell them to stop messing with their clocks because the sun considers it heresy, not because they are messing with the natural order of things, not because they are not using the sun for timekeeping, not because they are somehow messing with time itself, but because the sun cannot watch his cheese documentary at 7 without recording it?"

"Well, do not go manifesting, but that is a good summary!"
