I search for recent postings based on date,
and you're messing up my searches. Spring forward,
doncha know?
(Yes, I admit to having made the same mistake
in the past, but I'm better now.)

Don't you let your computer synchronize the time from a time server?
Tho' I did remember to set all 7 clocks, I'd be lost without the
reassurance from the monitor. It's a peculiarity of my landline phone
that it needs to receive a call to set the time and it was an hour out
until I just set it by hand
The little saying "Spring forward, Fall back" only really works for me
in the Fall since springing back seems just as natural

I guess my certainty does require my computer!

Well, that is sad. Come your later years when you want more daylight, you
won't have any. In our country, we've been saving daylight all our lives and
have lots of it ready to go at any time. Just checked my account balance
and WOW, I may never be in the dark again.

Sounds like you got the right idea over there. I never understood it
when I was a kid. They had daylight savings time IN THE SUMMER! How
dumb is that? There's lots of daylight already in the summer! Winter
is when you need the daylight. I'd want to go sledding after school,
and by 4:30PM it was too dark to see and we'd have to go home.

getting up to get ready for work have to use more lighting. Kids are

Mine too. My satellite was confused. In the afternoon I noticed that the
time display was on standard time and thought that it would switch to
DST when I turned it on. Not so. A while later it switched to DST. Then
in the evening it was back to standard time. It switched back and forth
several times in the evening.

The schools can open hour later. Why force everyone to their needs.
Manufactures have add extra code for their clocks and machines to

open an hour later. For those working parents can drop of the kids early or
go to work later.
I am grateful that the powers that be shortened the DST by two months!

Personally I think that DST should be abolished and there should be a
Constitutional amendment permitting the shooting of any politician who
even talks about reinstituting it.

If the schools open an hour later to cope with the early morning
darkness it defeats the purpose of extending DST. However, the
suggestion naturally leads to the suggestion that it would be easier for
businesses and institutions to change their operating hours than to have
everyone change their clocks. My dentists does that. His normal hours of
operation are 8-5, but during the summer they are 7-4.
