I guess most of us in North America have to set the clocks forward one hour tomorrow. I'm not sure how relevant this practice is anymore as most of our lives aren't tied to the rising and setting of the sun anymore, like it was for our fathers and grandfathers. Heck, I wouldn't mind if we all lived on UTC, at least the world would have something in common.

Sounds ok to me.

Rebel · 7 March 2009, 11:19 AM

Yeah. UTC is good.

Well here in the midwest it's nice to have the extra hour of light in the evening so I can stay out longer bicycling before it gets dark!!!

Mike B · 7 March 2009, 12:12 PM

Yes, we loose one hour sleep, but look on the bright side, work will go by MUCH faster :)

Carolina · 7 March 2009, 12:45 PM

I'm looking forward to that extra hour of daylight after dinner!

It's just another way the "Man" can manupilate us into submission... LOL....

My motto is, "you ain't a drunk if you only drink in the daylight". Thank goodness for DST.

I thought it was you're not drunk if you can lay on the floor without holdin' on.
