    Default For MOST US... Clocks ahead tomorrow night...

    This is the second time in my life this has happened where they changed the dates on when clocks move ahead and back again... This year we start tomoroow night instead of the first weekend in April... We turn them back the first Sunday in Nov. as opposed to the last Sunday of Oct... This was part of a new Energy Bill last year.. These Santanist politicians crack me up I wish they would not move the clocks at all....

    Yeah, its just a test too. Said they will review it after a couple years. To see how much it actually saves in energy.

    I say pick a time, and stick with it all year round.

    You can get the Microsoft Timezone edit program from their site at:

    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst

    to make sure your PC correctly knows the date when DST starts and ends.

    If you have a recent operating system it probably already knows the correct dates, but the older ones don't

    Also if you have any palm/windows mobile devices, be sure to upgrade them as well. Or your calendar will display the wrong times and you could miss a meeting or a important date.

    Clocks go ahead on March 11th at 2am EST. So thats March 10th at 11pm for us on the Best/West coast.

    It's confusing in Arizona. We don't change time. Who needs an extra hour of sun in the desert?

    So now I have to figure out if the games start earlier, later, or at the same time. At this time of night...
