If 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.

yeahhhh....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!

*Closes Eyes* Why is it so bright so early?

Thanks 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?

I 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 . . .

Well, 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!
