I kid, I kid.

Oh well, in 2007, the time changes 3 weeks earlier in the spring and 1 week later in the fall. | |

The whole time change thing may not seem like a big deal, but it is huge. I can't find it now, but a few years ago there was an article about DLST and car headlights. Going to DLST saves comsumers millions every year in replacement bulbs alone.

Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 221 | Oh man, every day I come to this forum and I keep seeing "don't forget! set clocks back 1 hour tonight!", so I keep setting my clocks back an hour. Now it gets dark for me at 2:00 in the afternoon and I get to work three hours before someone unlocks the door. 
It is pretty funny watching how confused my dog is now though. | |

Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: San Diego, CA Posts: 246 | I hate this time of the year too. It gets dark too early. Why do we do this again? I think I remember reading or hearing that it was to save "candle" light/fuel in the olden days. I for one don't use candles for light and never have | |
