I think I need to cut down on the number of clocks around the house... or update the mechanisms so they change on their own, heck, I'm using that hour just to change all the clocks! This is time consuming

It would be even better if the whole world was on the same time zone.

Well, we could just say that it is 12 noon all the time everywhere, and that would make life really simple!

Thanks, Wayne. They still have the old fix available, but I couldn't find a new one. With all the smart phones out, support for PDAs is waning.

We don't celebrate this particular holiday here in Arizona. You might all think that it would be great and all, but it has it's own challenges. Half of the year we're with California/Nevada, the other half of the year we're with Utah/New Mexico. It can get confusing when everyone else changes and we don't, we have to remember what zone we're in and when, and know that it's changed. Since we don't change it's not generally advertised as much as it is everywhere else so we might not even know that it's happened until later.

Has it changed yet? I guess by this thread that it has. See what I mean? Nobody tells us anything.

James

Me too. I think the whole idea of daylight savings is a farce.

If it's such a great idea, why don't we adjust by two hours, or three, or heck ... let's just adjust by a whole day!

We're being manipulated ... everyone except Arizona. They're smarter than the rest of us, apparently.

There is a part of Indiana that doesn't change. When my brother lived there, he worked in Michigan in a different time zone, So his hour long commute was sometimes zero, and sometimes 2 hours.

I was at a band clinic once where the conductor said he was never late for anything because he kept his watch set 15 minutes fast. By chance, I ate breakfast with him the next day. In the cashier's line he kept looking at his watch and then in exasperation asked, "Does anyone have the correct time?"
