It messes my sleep schedule up. I always end up waking up earlier, not gaining an hour. :roll:

Oh and dark by 6:30pm(and it's going to get even earlier)=blah. :grr:

You know what I found out? Right now, sunrise in Cincinnati is near 8am. On November 1, 2007, sunrise will be at 8:09am EDT. You can check out the sunrise/sunset tables for your area at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html

I already switched over my car radio's clock. LOL

Mainly b/c I finally figured out an easier way to change it, other than waiting until noon to change the minutes. My radio manual didn't come with clock instructions. And while waiting for my daughter to come out of a Mock Trial meeting last week, I saw a tiny button that said - clock. Ah ha! I had been reading a magazine, reading glasses on....otherwise I would have never figured that out. We've only owned my car for 7 years.....he he

Yeah... I'm right on the border with Central time(but on Eastern) and it's the same way here. My sister gets on the bus an HOUR before the sun comes up, and school starts 15 minutes before the sun officially rises here. :eek:

It's that time again when my "atomic" clocks get all messed up again because they try to tell me its that time of year again to change...when we really don't here in Arizona.

By this time next week, maybe those clocks will quit resetting themselves in the middle of the night.

Thank goodness I use the clock on my cell phone as my watch.

Now CST will be 9 hours behind... Qatar doesn't change time. Thankfully, we have a Scott AFB (IL) time clock in our office... that helps me when calling home.

Bumping for those who haved not seen this remainder.

My clock that updates from WWV (which is my official time clock) has an option to switch the DST setting off which is what I've done since as azsky has noted, we don't have to deal with that foolishness here in AZ.

Ah good, back to normal time again. Now the model guidance time will be the same time as here.

You'd never know it was autumn here though given 20C temps the other day. :lol:

Oh, but, I have to fuss. LOL, hate it! I'll walk out of the
office at 5:00pm, and, it will be pitch black outside, and,
I'll be soooooo uneasy, looking around for security's jeep
and the closest parking lot light!

Yeah... I was out at 6pm this evening thinking "Sunday at this time it'll be dark" :roll:

Here in Puerto Rico we never move the clocks as being in the tropics the sunset and sunrise is not extreme as in the US,Europe in the winter months.Because of not moving the clocks we will be one hour behind the east coast time or (Eastern Standard Time) distint from now that we are at the same time as the east coast.

Actually cycloneye, I do believe you guys in Puerto Rico and the Eastern Caribbean will in fact be one hour AHEAD (and not behind) of the eastern US and eastern Canada.

If for example it is 12:00 Midnight in Puerto Rico then from sunday when the time changes the east coast will be at 11:00 PM EST.When New Years come I always see the Times Square ball drop here on TV at 1:00 AM.
