4:30 today too dark to read, I though five more minutes i will need a flashlight.
The sun was over the mountains but not on the horizon though. December 22 it will be past dark at 4:00 central here.
More I think about it, establishing time in our country with High noon at 12:00 makes the most sense. Or at least makes as more sense than shifting time an hour in March and November.No worries about Train travelers. Truck Drivers don't reference the clock either it seems. About 3:00 pm many's day begins as the trucks are filled as the warehouse or factory day ends.
Why not: Today's electronics and nuclear clock or gps satellites adjust the clocks by signals.
My Native American Ancestors got up when the sun came up, or animals started moving if they were hunting. As the deer here do, that are not hunted it is generally sunup.
Why wreck our bodies and minds living by a Wall street mechanical clock not nature's clock.
If they set high noon as 12:00clock time in Nashville or close,as the state is about 450 miles extreme upper east Tn to southwest t the Arkansas border, that would be roughly 225 miles to the border in each direction. As time changes about 1 minute every 13 miles. High noon would only be off actual sun time about 17 minutes.
i think Tennesseans would agree to that.
