I'm not a big fan of DST either Kris, I don't see the point considering the data get longer (more daylight) naturally.
We have three timezones here also and the same issues arise. It's even worst considering the eastern seaboard don't all have DST (The State of Queensland do not have it). So, some state change others don't and it's all a fucken mess.
Also, and this pisses me off, it gets longer and longer each year, 2 OCT 22 to 2 April 23. WTF.
Anyway, it is what it is and we have to deal with it as I don't think it's going away.
