I never got how daylight is being "saved" by the switch but have
always remembered the "Spring Forward, Fall Back" mantra.

Ah, how fortunate you are. I've lived all over the USA but never out
west and so have always experienced all four seasons. Sometimes heavy
on the seasons (like in Illinois and Indiana) and other times very
light (as in Florida) or where we can go from winter (sub freezing
temps) to spring/early summer temps (70s/low 80s) in a single day as
we do in Georgia. So I'm quite familiar with the seasons and have
always wondered how the people in Los Angeles maintain their sanity
when every day is the same. Well, except for those few days when it
rains and everyone panics if they have to go near a road.
