October 30, 2006 at 12:14 am #153854PolarBearNPRParticipantGrab your flashlights gang! But it will be nice to go to work after the sun rises. Well, not nice to go to work, but at least the sun will be up :p

It’s only for the Fall & Winter though, then we Spring Forward an hour.
(And we’re all looking forward to that…Arn’t we?) 😉October 30, 2006 at 2:38 pm #153829Jeff HesterKeymasterIf I’m not mistaken, aren’t the time change settings changing next year? Something about changing time in march instead of april? I think I heard something like that.

October 30, 2006 at 2:54 pm #153830Jeff HesterKeymasterOops. I should learn to read more thoroughly. Eheh….I meant to do that…honest…
October 30, 2006 at 5:33 pm #153841OreoMemberyeahhhh….and that’s “supposed” to save energy…that was the “BIG” energy conservation bill passed through government. Now I normally do not say too much…but COME ON…how about urging the use of alternative fuels? Umm…I don’t know…making it attractive to use less energy? But nooooo, they lessen “Standard” time and lenghten daylight savings…BAH!
March 20, 2007 at 5:30 am #153835detn8rParticipantThanks to the US switching Daylight Savings time early, Canada (of course) had to follow .. and is it just me or does it just FEEL weird to you having this much sun so early in March? :p
March 20, 2007 at 4:48 pm #153832Jeff HesterKeymasterPersonally, I love it! The more daylight the better!
March 20, 2007 at 5:54 pm #153836detn8rParticipantpfft.. coming from someone who wears shorts year round! :p
March 20, 2007 at 8:32 pm #153855PolarBearNPRParticipantI liked it better before . . . going to school/work in daylight. This extra hour of evening just doesn’t make sense. Oh . . . I forgot who decided to change the change . . . nm.
But it does help some of the time differences, say between here and Malaysia among others.
And I’m surprised that Canada followed suit . . . hmm . . .
March 21, 2007 at 3:35 am #153837detn8rParticipantWell, it would be too confusing if we didn’t, honestly. I mean, the two countries run hand in hand so, to be having the hour difference would be WAY too confusing.
Oh, not to mention it’s officially Spring now! yay!
