[eleny]

"Beginning in 2007, most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November."

7. No problem. Read "Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of DST" by Michael Downing.

Great book! I'll be talking with the author this week for rebroadcast later.

9. Thanks for the link!

I'll check it out. We're already happy around here since it's staying light out till 6 P.M. or so on the Front Range.

2. C'mon, I bet we can turn this into a Flame War!

Personally, I like Daylight Saving Time.

4. I like it too

I just don't like daylight losing time during the fall and winter.

5. You can't possibly tell me

that you would coat your chicken in Daylight Savings Time? What a maroon.

6. My husband is thrilled, he thrives on the light.

But okay - let's fight!

10. I assume that your husband does not work in IT

or for the airline industry?

We are scrambling to get patches loaded for the change. Most major software vendors are just now coming out with patches.

We are still testing to see if the patches we need even work. Today, I got a patch for a patch from one company.

This has proven worse the Y2K in some aspects.

11. Oh WAAAAAAAA - No Problems EVER with My Macs

12. As long as they're running at least Panther (and you've applied the patch), sure

I have a few aged G3 servers still running Rhapsody that there will be no patches for. I'm going to have to stay up late and set the time manually on those (and then again on the day that DST would 'normally' come into effect).

14. Consider it job security!

Btw, my husband worked on the hardware side before he retired several years ago. That had it's own nightmares, as you're aware. He got started in the bad old days of 300 pound drives in '80s. But he retired maintaining the state's water measurement telecommunications devices here in Colorado.

Hang in there! :hi:

8. I remembered when this bill passed 1 1/2 year ago.

I like the idea having longer day light. I live in PNW and day light are longer here now... 6:30pm.

13. Yea!

15. Daylight savings time

is a true oxymoron in Interior Alaska.............

16. DLST is a tool of the capitalist

to encourage more shopping after the work day is done. There are no noble intentions behind its creation.

17. I remember several years ago there was a letter in the San Diego Union

and a quote from that letter was in regard to the change to Daylight Savings Time: "They're fooling with our God given time" (the they this woman was talking about was of course The Communists who were the boogie man of that day & age). I always pictured God handing down to Moses an alarm clock.
