March 11 begins Daylight Saving Time

:clap_1: It does feel early, but I can't wait!!!!

Yes, this earlier kick in is part of GWBush's Energy Study. :funn: Seriously, but whatever the cause, I am happy. I wish we were in the Eastern time zone then we could have it better all the time.

a huge page from California, filled with great information regarding DST:

Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time is extended one month and begins for most of the United States at:
2 a.m. on the Second Sunday in March
to
2 a.m. on the First Sunday of November.
(See chart below.)

The new starts and stop dates were set in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.


Change Your Clock & Change A Bulb!

The National Fire Protection Association and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommend that consumers change the battery in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when we change the clocks for Daylight Saving Time.

While you've got the ladder out to check your smoke detectors, why not change a bulb?

Switching to energy efficient bulbs in your ceiling fixtures could save you $30 a year per bulb on your electricity bill.

Energy efficient lighting is particularly important in the fall when Daylight Saving Time ends and the days are shorter.

The latest generation of energy-saving lighting includes compact fluorescent bulbs that fit in standard light sockets and provide pleasant, uniform light.

Low-energy halogen or LED lighting is also becoming widely available.

Don't forget your 'puters.

I can't wait for Daylight Savings Time!!!! :clap_1:

Aha! So you're the one, Audie, who keeps bombarding the Indianapolis Star newpaper with all those letters complaining on why Indiana had to join DST??

Y I wish we were in the Eastern time zone then we could have it better all the time.

Eastern Time Zone is the worst ! Lived 40 years in Central then moved here 10 years ago and I hate it and can't wait to get back to central time in about 10 years.

That depends on your longitude. We would be on the western edge of the Eastern zone, and that would be great. As it is, we are on the Eastern Edge of the Central Zone, and that is about the same as being on the eastern shores of Maine, regarding location in the zone.

Job...that sounds familiar. I have a job. I only post while at work. (Home computer is no longer at my home) Oddly enough I can multitask well enough to work and post. Good thing my boss likes me.
