Friendly reminder for USA residents-Daylight Saving Time

Postby Cascadia » Wed Oct 31, 2007 11:31 pm

Motto: "If you feel my lightning, you will never hear the thunder."
If your state recognizes Daylight Saving Time, that time is around the corner (this Saturday). So, this is just a friendly reminder to set your clocks back when you go to sleep on Saturday night.

I could have used a reminder last week when it wasn't the end of Daylight Savings. My stupid computer tried to tell me lies and make me think I was getting an extra hour last Sunday morning.

The start and end of Daylight Saving Time was different until this year. As a result, anything with a clock that has an automatic DST setting that was made before this year will be wrong.

DST in general is retarded. I just got done having to drive in glare 3 weeks ago and now because of this stupid ass change, I have to do it for another 8 months.

It's so freaking useless.

Bloody hell! :)

I hate the whole DST thing. Why not just leave it alone for one year and see how everyone likes or hates it? I know there are some places that don't observe DST. They seem to be doing fine...

Funny thing is that your problem results because DST is ending :-P

Homer: 8:58, first time I've ever been early for work. Except for all those daylight savings days. Lousy farmers.

I love QLD. I never have to mess with my clocks. Which is great...cause I'm lazy.

But I get annoyed at the one hour shift whenever I go on Holiday. I loves me Daylight Savings, gives me another hour of Daylight to play cricket!

The only Aussie State that should not do it is Perth, they have daylight till 10pm in Summer without DLS.
