Daylight befuddling time

I have reached the age where technology befuddles me. I never figured out how to set the clock in my new car which was set to daylight saving time when I bought it.  So since 2 a.m. Sunday, April 2, my car clock has been correct once again – THANK YOU.
Yes, daylight saving time is now reality again. I love to have daylight time to spend after I get off work to walk the dog, cut the grass, or just sit on the porch sharing a cold drink and conversation with my wife; my drink, her conversation.
Back in the ‘70s, I hosted a radio talk show. Whenever we approached the onset of daylight saving time, I was besieged with calls about the evils of messing with God’s time. “God’s time” was standard time according to the callers. They were closer to being right than I knew.
Standard time was not instituted until 1883, but not by law. Standard time was a commandment by the railroad barons, who probably came closer to being all-powerful than any other mortals. How could trains run on time if no one agreed as to what time it was?
Of course, once they agreed on what time it was, trains never ran on time again — but that is another story. In 1918, Congress established the Standard Act which made both standard and daylight saving time official law. Daylight time was very controversial, however.
Some people actually thought daylight saving time somehow generated an extra hour of sunlight, messing with the natural way of things. Daylight saving time was so contentious Congress repealed it the very next year, while standard time and time zones remained the law of the land.
Daylight saving time reappeared nationwide during World War II, but after 1945 became optional at the discretion of states and localities. In 1966, Congress finally provided standardized dates to establish the beginning and ending dates of daylight time.
Some farmers oppose daylight saving time, and no, not because an extra hour of sun will scorch the corn in the field. Farmers work sunup to sundown at this time of year, but they must alter their farming hours in order to do business with buyers and others whose work hours change with daylight time.
Most Americans finally adapted to daylight saving time, which is probably why Congress made some new changes. Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 changing the beginning and ending daylight saving time dates to the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November respectively, but not until 2007.
Let me see if I understand. Congress passed the law in 2005 so we can change our clocks on different days beginning in 2007, but we change our clocks in 2006 the way Congress told us to in 1966.
I guess I have reached the age where it is not just technology that befuddles me.
