...and now the question is, why so late. I just realized today that we usually change the time the weekend prior to Halloween and was wondering if I just missed it or what, but my computer didn't automatically change the time, so... I went searching for the article. Not only did we spring forward earlier staring this year, we are falling back later starting this year as well. Thus the time change is next weekend. Whew! Glad to know I am not loosing it.

We - here in Hungary - did that last weekend so it's interesting to me that you will making on this weekend.

I hate this daylight saving time shit because it's becoming dark one hour sooner (around at 4pm instead of 5pm), but it's better than at the North Pole. :P

most of us aussies went forward last weekend. queensland, being the backward state that they are, refuses to play the game with the rest of the country. usually, one can say the same about western australia, but they are trialling daylight saving time for a couple of years.

now if someone starts on how daylight saving makes their curtains fade quicker...

Yeah I dont think in California and other states where bars close at 2 am, that they turn the clocks back to 1 am and let you stay an extra hour. The only benfit is that you get to sleep an extra hour! That and at this time of the morning it is not so freaking dark. I know it is a trade off and it will be dark at 5 pm, but I'd rather it be light at 7 am than at 5 pm.
