Awesome < /sarcasm >, I’m flying that day. Just what I need, another potential Y2K.
And all of my devices (computer, vcr, etc.) that understood DLS time now will get it wrong.
Thanks, Congress.
How about allowing Congress to set forth an emergency provision to lengthen or shorten a day when the clock is ticking down to midnight on some piece of legislation?
The power of arbitrary tinkering.
Just decide where the clocks should always be set at and leave them alone.
I am also not happy with the calendar system. Too confusing. 31 days in July, 30 days in September, 28 days in February - but wait, every fourth year, add a day to February.
What the hell is that crap?
Here's my solution to the problem...
Have 13 months a year exactly four weeks long. That is, have 28 days per month with each month starting on a Sunday.
That neatly accounts for 364 days per year.
At the end of each year, use the extra day as a holiday. It can be called "New Year's Day" and nobody has to work. Imagine that! One day out of the year for a national party.
Every four years, New Year's Day can be two days long and we'll get all the drunker.
There you go. Calendar simplified. Just-like-that.
It’s nearly 9 o’clock. The sun should be showing up in an hour or so.
The early start was a welcome one, as it added more golf time. I’m sure golf courses really made more money too, especially farther up north, like here in WA state.
I am disgusted, was so ready to “fall back” today as we ALWAYS have.
OH! Did I mention I DETEST “daylight savings time” AND this extension of it in PARTICULAR...?!!!!
Another repetition of this useless task designed, implemented and continued solely to remind us of our powerlessness in the face of the mindless power of government.
Won’t the extra hour of day light add to Global Warming? Has this concern been mentioned to Nobel Winner Algore? Could be another winner for him next year!!
