Don't forget to set your clocks back and enjoy that extra hour of sleep!

DST was started back in 1895 in freakin' New Zealand.

But I was shocked this morning when I noticed the time on the computer. Thankfully it had reset itself.

At one point only Arizona and Indiana (and then NOT all of both) didn't participate in DST, I wonder why they changed?...Hell, if it is based on an Agrarian society it's time has past.

Being right on the line of the part of Indiana that just recently started changing time with DST, it's only been in the past couple of years that it has changed. The change was because of the amount of workers living and working in different time zones. This was a huge huge thing in my area.

Thank you.  I was referring to Bush moving it a weekish later.  It was a good idea.

And Bush did have another achievement.  The seniors got a COLA when he was in.  I hated Bush and did not vote for him.  Obama tho is Bushes 3rd term.

I am so dragging today. I am out of food and too lazy to go to the store.  Or to shave.  Or to clean.  I guess I am just an online whore.  ;-0
