Whew! you lost me at IST. But wait! Don't bother to explain. I won't remember it, along with all the other acronyms I see in every essay/article/blog, everybody trying to convey so much info so fast, they don't convey anything at all. Great example, though!stepheather wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2023, 7:04 am
At any rate, I've been logging in at 21:30 IST, which equates to 0900 PDT...and 1100 CDT, so I think 1700 BST is correct!
Phew. I feel like I'm running a mental marathon.

Does sunshine need protection in Louisiana? Things mus be bad down over there!msfry wrote: ↑June 1st, 2023, 6:40 am Here's what the Brave Summarizer says:
As of 01 Jun 2023, Louisiana is not on Daylight Saving Time. Louisiana first observed Daylight Saving Time in 1970 and has observed it for 54 years between 1970 and 2023.3 However, if the federal Sunshine Protection Act becomes law while daylight saving time is being observed, Louisiana will never return to standard time. Louisiana is in the Central Time zone and is -6 hours behind Greenwich Time and -5 hours in daylight saving time.
No, silly. People need protection from dusk and dawn occurring at inconvenient hours. We're driving around in the dark either in the morning or at night. The war is between who prefers which. Astronomers of course prefer dark skies at night, parents prefer to put their kids on the bus during daylight hours, farmers like to get an early start, so these groups agree. But whether its DST or Standard Time which delivers that here, I can't figure. AND I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. JUST TELL ME WHAT TIME I'm supposed to set my clocks to, and I'll be on my way.
. Looking forward to watching a recording some time.
Well, Pooh! I was looking forward to seeing you and finding out how you're doing after that tornado rocked your neighborhood.MaryinArkansas wrote: ↑June 5th, 2023, 7:36 am Well, Pooh!

Yep, sorry you and Mary weren't there. Ya'll missed an information-packed session, recorded, followed by a gab session of enjoyable fellowship.silverquill wrote: ↑June 5th, 2023, 10:57 am Can't believe I space out the meeting this morning.

I'd like to know more about Zoom on cell phones, too.msfry wrote: ↑June 5th, 2023, 11:15 amYep, sorry you and Mary weren't there.

Which brings me to this potential topic: Zoom on Smart Phones.
I know people can attend Zoom sessions on their smart phone if a computer is not available. Gotta learn now to do that myself, so for next month, can someone give a tour of that platform? (I know how to share an iPhone screen onto the Zoom laptop platform in case you need help with that.)
Thank you, Michele.msfry wrote: ↑June 6th, 2023, 9:36 am Chat notes from the 6/5: (I just realized I can copy all these notes and share the imformational ones here. Some good stuff, yeah!

Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs from 1837 is my current project--there are a lot of sections available (although there are a couple of dozen tables and forms...which I figure I'll end up recording). In case you're curious.
