did a search on 'forward' and 'time' in 1st page and found nothing.

daylight savings time is now 2weeks earlier and lasts 1 additional week.

at 2am on 3/11, turn clocks forward 1hr. (or anytime b4 bed)

now the question i ask is how can we lose 1hr for 2 extra weeks (2hr total), yet gain back only 1hr additional near the end of the year? Arent we in a deficit for 1hr?

Well, I think it has to do with the party that has the majority in Congress, and how they're all a bunch of bureaucratic morons.

Are people really not aware of this? Everyday i'm hearing or seeing stuff on this, and i don't have a TV or listen to the radio.

This change in DST has been a real PITA at work. It better net some real gains on energy savings and stuff like that.

No. Why are you making this more confusing.

Reminder for everyone since I forgot until just now... Clocks (in North America) go forward tonight.
