Daylight Savings??? What a Crock!!!

We Germanic people – sorry, our Germanic ancestors – measured time in nights rather than days (e.g. ‘twelve nights’ instead of ‘twelve days’).

This ancient Germanic calendar, which counted by nights, originally began the day in the evening, thus extending the evening and night into the following day.

This old method of calculation gradually fell into disuse in the early Middle Ages, and by the 9th century, the evening was also referred to as belonging to the same day with the Old English word aefented.
However, the old designation remained in use for holidays throughout the Middle Ages. Thus, the entire day before a holiday was often referred to as the “evening” of the holiday; hence Modern English Saturday.
Some remnants of this expression have survived to this day: modern German Weihnachts- or Christabend, modern English Christmas Eve, modern Scottish Halloween, modern Danish juleaften, modern Swedish julafton, etc.

The fact that, in the Old Germanic calendar, evening and night counted as part of the following day also gave rise to some of the names of the days of the week:
i.g. “Friday”, old EnglishFrígeǣfen ='Thursday evening',
or “Sunday”, Sunnanǣfen = “the eve of Sunday” = “Saturday evening, Saturday”; Sunnanniht - 'the night from Saturday to Sunday.

I did not know that, and am embarrassed to admit that I live within forty miles of the big Navajo reservation.

I wonder how that works on the part of the rez they call the checkerboard. In that area, you drive in alternating mile long blocks of reservation and non reservation.

Been there. Phone time changes rapidly. Sometimes even correct for where you are.

I'd decided to stay on NM-time with car clock and wrist watch until we were in Utah.
