Don't forget to roll your clocks back. |

Yeah, don't you have on of those nifty new fangled clocks controlled by Skynet that adjusts itself? |

Amusingly, I do have two types of those clocks. Unfortunately, only one is set by "Skynet". The other is smart enough to be on a set rotation of dates under the old schedule. After the last change of DST start and stop dates there is a week on each end where I have to change the time zone I am in so that the clock is correct. Thanks for the reminder Ulfynn. |

I don't understand why we persist in calling it "Standard" time when we're only on it for, like, 4 months out of the year now. |

All of my clocks self-adjust now. Unfortunately neither of my wrist watches do... |

Those self adjusting clocks suck. Why? Because Arizona doesn't use Daylight Savings Time...so I have to fix the damn clocks I shouldn't need to adjust in the first place. |

Feb or March, now, I think. It's amusing to me, by the way -- I lived in Indiana most of the year a decade ago, and the time changes were still relevant to me -- because the TV schedule shifted along with Eastern time. So we essentially swapped from Eastern to Central and back on the DST days. I guess with the advent of DVRs, even that anchor to daylight savings awareness has gone, too? |

Sadly, Indiana has been corrupted and now is infected by the daylight savings infection. Only two states are standing now. |
