Reminder: U.S. and Canada switch to daylight savings tomorrow at 2:00 a.m. Check your electronics to make sure they update correctly. And remember to recheck them in three weeks.

If you want every one to understand that "tomorrow" then you need to define it better, because to some part of the world, it is already tomorrow. ;)

Very true - but I thought that by saying U.S. and Canada, I'd provided enough definition. AFAIK, every part of both countries considers the time I wrote this to be Saturday night. But clarity is always good: I meant SUNDAY, Mar 09 a.m., folks

I know, it feels like we just set it yesterday. I wish they'd just put it in the middle and leave the thing alone, it's not 'saving' anything.

DST is about spending, not saving. The retail, recreation and food industries have studies proving that we're more likely to leave home and spend money if it's light out after we get home than otherwise. The reason Congress tells us that we have extra DST is to save energy, but thats not true. We spend more on gas (this year a lot more) than we save on electricity.

Thanks for the reminder, but my clocks never changed. I am outraged at government mandated time changes, my small rebellian against totalitarian creep into our society!:mad:

And now there is a study showing that we don't save any money in power bills with DST, but rather it costs us more in electricity and energy.

If you double click on the time in the lower right-hand corner, go to Time Zone on the screen that appears and uncheck the box that says "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes." Click ok. You have to be administrator to make this change.
