ARRRRGGGHHH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!!!!

nice work

no point in changing the clock for just four months

back in my day we had *real* standard time

ha it's true! this is a watered down compromise, nobody is happy

Man, Day Three and I don't know how Mountain Time people get up an hour early like this.

Yeah, I know it's time-trickery but I feel a big relief when Daylight Savings comes around... finishing work and still having some light to go for a walk

Husker Du: "Somewhere in April time they add another Owwerrr!" Did it used to be in April or is that just a songwriting/syllable convenience?

wow you must be young, it was April to October until Bush Jr.

Thanks Dubya.

wow you must be young

thank you *blushes*

I just don't remember it or why they adjusted it

i love the sun

Congress moved the dates when DST started and ended because estimates predicted a net energy savings nationally if the changes were adopted. Dubya's only involvement was signing the bill into law.

when I win the lottery I'll just have two houses in adjacent time zones and move between them accordingly

I am hitting a huge mid-afternoon lull right now.

xxp Aimless-- I thought it was the centerpiece of his administration's "Energy Conservation Plan"

It could have been touted that way when introduced. It's the sort of thing presidents love to mention in their State of the Union address (speeches which I have mostly ignored since about 1994). I can't recall his ever mentioning an interest in it after that, only the stupid wrangling about how many more schoolkids per annum would be crushed by school busses compared to the status quo.
