I just found out that this weekend is Daylight saving time. Time to set your clocks ahead one hour.

That's all I have to say on this topic.

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Daylight Saving Time is one subject on which the state of Arizona shows superior intelligence. Are we all supposed to be to stupid to set the alarm one hour earlier, rather than change the time twice a year?? :thinking: :thinking:

:lol: :lol: Don't know if you meant that in the way it sounded but it cracked me up, and either way I agree with you.

The only tricky part is trying to make calls back east 3 hours ahead by the end of the business day. Get a lot of automated recordings.

When I lived in Michigan, folks in the UP (Upper Peninsula) really didn't like Daylight Savings Time because they are just waaay too far west to be on eastern time zone to begin with. The sun doesn't go down until after 10 in July!

You got it exactly the way I meant it. In reality I am only mildly annoyed by the whole DST thing, now that I do not have all those electronic revenue meters to deal with. Some of those had "automatic" DST adjustment, but when they changed the dates for start/stop it caused me to have to change the time in the meters 4 times a year...... :lol: :x :lol:

These days I do not look at a clock much anyway........ :lol: :lol:

Well at least you didn't put the word "thee" in front of "one subject" which would have read a little bit more absolute like, "Daylight Saving Time is thee one subject on which the state of Arizona shows superior intelligence".
.. so maybe we still got some outs huh?? :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the reminder :thumbsup: otherwise I would have been off an hour in the morning. :? Nothing like arriving at church when everyone else is leaving. :oops: :lol:

I got used to (if one can get used to it) the dates of April & Oct and then they go and change them. :roll: I always find going on to Day Light Savings the hardest. :thumbdown:
