Dang, DayLight Saving?
I've heard of it, but i'm not exactly clear what it is since i'm living in the East and never experienced it. Could someone explain?

I dumped 4.5K blocks at 4 1/2 hours ago but it isn't showing up in the stats.

he he .. I am still trying to figure if we got a 25 hour day or not..

I need that other hour!!(bad) but I think I finally figured we just adjusted our TZ offset and just got 24 hours : (

I like it in the fall when we gain an hour. In the spring it's a totally different story.

I believe that daylight savings was designed to give farmers more daylight time to work on the farms. Instead of being dark at 8:30 in the spring and summer it would be dark at 9:30. In the fall after the harvest it is no longer needed so we fall back one hour. Arizona and Hawaii are the only states I know that dont use daylight savings.

I havent had to set the clock back in 11 years. Then again us arizonians know better

I believe Indiana doesn't use it either...

Personally, I hate it. Messes up my sleeping rhythms!

i dont use an alarm clock to wake up.
(havent needed one for years, unless i need to get up at 3am or
something)

so i can tell when its getting close to the time
to change the clocks because i wake up at different
times the closer it gets.

some parts of indiana change! Just not the central part thank goodness!! allways screwed me up when i lived in Minnesota!

We dont change here in Saskatchewan, I thought we were the only place in North America that didnt.

here in Aus we had day light savings early, just to accomodate for the olympics. it really doesn't mean anything anymore, i'd say it's just a weird form of a tradition

Daylight saving changes are pretty normal here (Toronto Canada).
