I am in a timezone that uses DST (currently PDT), but I would like us to use a timezone that does NOT use DST.  It will be nice to have something that reflects the seasonal patterns like my own body does.  I hate the time change in both ways.

Not everyone does crazy clock-changing. Using such a time system for
scheduling seems to inconvenience the wrong position. (although perhaps
arguably better since most people probably use DST) :p

(Aside, if Google Calendar can't support standard UTC, that sounds like an
argument against using Google Calendar...)

Tonal time works nice any consistently. :D
