Here in Arizona...we don't want the extra hour of daylight in the summer. As a matter of fact, the sun could set at 6 and we would be happy!

So, instead of us changing our clocks, we just allow California to catch up to us and the Midwest become two hours earlier instead of one.

Might be a better move to set our thermometers back 10 degrees starting this time of year and lasting until Halloween!

Tommorow night at 2:00 AM EDT is the moment of the change of the clocks one hour ahead so prepare for one hour of less sleep. :)

Of course, if you happen to be in the southern hemisphere, in a place like Melbourne where DLS ends rather than begins, makes sure that you shift them the other way, and start checking the size of the wood pile! ;-)

How the heck do the livestock know what time it is? Seems to me they wouldn't really care one way or the other about this matter.

You mean people actually change the time on their clocks? we don't do that here in Arizona (Thank Goodness). Who wants the Sunset an hour later when the daytime temperature is 115F in the shade (if you can find any).

Blah!

Every other clock in the house says it's 5:30 and time to get up for work, but the microwave is cruelly reminding me that it's really still what used to be 4:30 just a day ago and that I should climb back in bed for one more hour of sleep.

Lucky night shift -- they get a quick 11-hour shift instead of the usual 12 and those of us relieving them will be coming in all blurry eyed this morning.

This is the fun part of DST! :grr:
