Status: offline 		Just a reminder to those in the USA.. tomorrow, Sun March 11th, is our new daylight saving time! (That means you reset your clock before bed tonight!!) Joy and bliss, you get to lose an hour of sleep already! Don't forget, unless you've gotten a patch, you'll have to manually reset your computer's time now, and again on the regular day light savings time date.

Status: offline 		Alas Glide, I'm not so thrilled with it. I drive a very curvy road to work and used to be able to ride to work in the mornings, with reasonble safety. Now, since we joined the daylight savings folks...well I don't ride to work at all. I guess I have a thing about missing a turn in the dark and ending up in a ravine somewhere. I really liked it better when we (Indiana) didn't change at all.

Status: offline 		I am a freak, I love this time of year, I love the extra daylight after work. I feel like I get more done. I know I am a freak

But when I am at Daddy's that means I will be getting up an hour earlier, depending on what is going on with his work that could be at 4:30 am... ouch

it's an ongoing Government ploy to control people...except for Arizona

It may be that that pox you wished on me is infecting my brain, but I didn't get this one.

To get to the new DST the year has to change.
