Daylight Savings Time Honduran Style

Most of the people reading this blog have heard of and probably experienced Ben Franklins daylight savings time. It is designed to make longer days so people can be more productive. This is especially useful in higher latitudes.

In Honduras traditionally they have not partaked in Day Light savings time but this week on Tuesday May 3rd President Zelaya and his ministers decided lets do it too. On Friday May 5th this declaration will be official and on Sunday May 7th it will go into effect at midnight. A whopping 5 days notice for every person and business in Honduras.

My experience is most people in Honduras need more than a weeks notice to get the word on a change like this. I am already anticipating interesting comings and goings of my Gardner and Watchmen.

Should be interesting... stay tuned.
