Daylight Screwings Time

[Paolo]

Did we all remember to turn our clocks up 1 hour?:dong:

Anyone have any problems - like being 1 hour late or early today?

No problems here (yet). Although things like my VCR would have screwed up if I didn't go in and change the menu options. I went in and change the time on it and also turned off the DST option. If not, it would have change time again by itself in a few weeks.

My VCR operated through the remote, which failed a few years ago. I can set the time manually, but that is a pain to do. My computer changed time, I suppose because it is connected to the net. I dislike going to church sufficiently that I can use any excuse to miss services.

I just got back from a trip to the drug store. It's the only place anywhere near here that sells Actifed/Aprodine cheap (thanks to a Michigan law making it difficult to obtain since people can use the pseudophedrine to make meth or some shit like). The sign said they were open to 4pm and my clock in my car said 3:30pm. I was more than a little annoyed. It wasn't until I got nearly all the way back home with my $6.00 box of sinus pills (usually $1.89 from my favorite drug store) that I remembered about daylight savings time when I saw the village clock was an hour ahead.

Bleh... it was a nice drive at least -- it's a beautiful, sunny day! 45 degrees F! WooohawQ@!%!^%!

I dont worry about those kind of clocks. I put black electrician's tape over them so I dont see them flashing and get annoyed. OTOH, there are clocks on every friggin thing nowadays.... I had to reset 11 clocks - 5 in the kitchen alone. There is even one on the door of the fridge.

Paolo, why would you care, Indiana doesn't use Daylight Saving Time

its just the rest of us that must change 47/11 clocks twice a year.

I think they finally got into the 21st century and actually started doing DST... Or am I giving Gov. Bitch too much credit?

I like the old wind up clocks.... even if you forget to wind them, they are still rite twice a day

Indiana now follows DST. Hawaii and Arizona (non-Navajo Areas) don't follow DST either. What really gave Indiana a huge issue is that part of the state was EST and part was CST, and one part observed DST and the other didn't, plus people "unofficially" followed DST when legally they weren't supposed to, because they lived in suburbs of cities in other states... Yes, all sorts of confusion, which is why they're now more or less normal.

Yes, I've been reading wikipedia too much!

Yeah, but we still have the epidemic of people showing up either 1 hour too early or 1 hour too late for church on Sunday morning. And the kids are getting on the school bus in the dark again now. Moving to observation of DST has probably been the MOST unpopular thing that Gov. Bitch has done so far.
