    Default Time to Fall Back in the U.S.

    I just realized, by looking at the bottom of my computer, that we (the U.S.) fell back one hour here last night.....I forgot all about it. I hate that. I could have slept in.....
    We have assumed control !

    Losing that hour of daylight in the PM is going to suck. I hate daylight savings time, no light to do chores by.

    I liked it better when they left it the way it was all year round. I like the extra hour in the morning but when spring comes and I have to get up earlier it takes me a week to get used to it.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    We had the same thing last weekend. It's not so bad right now, but in the depths of winter it's not nice when it's dark at 4pm!
    There's about two months each year when my body thinks the amount of daylight is just right. It doesn't like the 16 hours of darkness in winter, or the 18 of light in summer!

    Do you experience this as well when travelling over timezone borders?

    I had a job working 12 on and 12 off. This weekend used to upset me when at 0200 it suddenly became 0100.

    my dad and i were going to a swap meet (for Harley parts) where we had a couple booths on sunday morning. i set the alarm for 6 am but totally forgot the time change. i didn't realize until the radio in my car mentioned it at 10 after 6 (which was 10 after 5 ). so now i know that TV programming at 5:30 am really sucks!
