I use a rope analogy - w/no ethnicities involved.   Bv)=

Merchants are the main drivers of "daylight time". See my other reply
about following the money.

Having been raised around the farms I know that the cows and chickens
will do their "thing" according to their own internal clocks. No matter
what time some politician has decreed it to be.

I figure that when the sun is directly overhead - it's noon o'clock.

When the sun has sunk into the western horiozon it's Miller Time.  Bv)=

      Title: Miley Cyrus' Savannah Beach Sunset
 Categories: Five, Beverages, Booze, Fruits
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      2 oz Peach schnapps
  1 1/2 oz Vodka
      3 oz (to 4 oz) mango nectar
      1 ts Maraschino cherry juice
      1 sl Fresh peach; garnish
    1/2 c  Ice cubes
 
  Fill a short glass with ice. (I used a short-stemmed
  chalice, but a 10-oz Old-Fashioned glass or a large wine
  goblet would work well, too.)
  
  Pour peach schnapps and vodka over the ice, and stir.
  Pour mango nectar on top and let it descend into the
  alcohol layer.
  
  Drizzle the cherry juice across the top, and let it
  slowly descend into the drink, creating a streaking
  pattern.
  
  Garnish with a peach slice and serve immediately.
