Daylight savings time upped 3 weeks!

[Gundog]

I just got an e-mail from our corporate folks here at work that daylight savings time has gained 1 month.

Here is the info I got.

In August 2005 the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which changes the dates of daylight-saving time (DST). Starting in 2007, daylight-saving time will be in effect for four additional weeks, beginning three weeks earlier and ending one week later than previous years.
Previously DST started on: First Sunday of April

With the new law, DST will start on: Second Sunday of March

Previously DST ended on: Last Sunday of October

With the new law, DST will end on: First Sunday of November

The start
Would have been: April 1, 2007

Will now be: March 11, 2007

The end
Would have been: Oct. 28, 2007

Will now be: Nov. 4, 2007

John, you don't even know what a springer is other than it's first name must be jerry.

But I agree. More time to fish and watch John be frustrated. Hex, hex, hex............................

That just kills me. That’s their best idea for an energy policy?

I’m not saying anything, I’m just saying. COOMMMMEEEE OOOONNNN!!!

I never did understand dst. There is still 24 hrs in a day and the same amount of daylight in that 24hr time frame. But if it means I have to wake my kids up earlyer for school I love it.

I love rousting them up.

[Super Fluke]

I'm happy with that.

[C-lice]

Sounds like WINTER steelhead after work instead of just summers...

[Rainman]

I just wish they'd leave it alone.

[crabbait]

I just wish they would leave it on DST year round and be done with it.

[choppers]

DST has created some intresting problems for me here at work but you know GD is right on about the springer mo jo. I can taste them now.

Move to AZ, no such clock worries. Just no seasons either.

Well looks like I just lost an hour of Blacktail hunting before work for another week.

It will be interresting to see how this effects the clock on your computer. Believe it will be thrown off by the new DST times and dates.

Good Luck;

I think the Crash of Y2K is going to Happen with this change!

[Gundog]

According to what we were told the computers will make the change automatically as before. But how do they know? Probably some secret squirrel stuff only the IT dudes know.
