I agree with everyone... 
Regardless, spring forward to me is like a good reminder for several important things...
- Change batteries to smoke alarm in house...
- think about new excuses to tell your wife/girlfriend why your going kiting...
- and last but not least, a reminder to get my shit out of the closet and get ready for kiting...
Now all we need is a little sunshine...
Any idea what this weekend weather is looking like (coast)... |

Yes, but WHY? is the question. It was supposed to be so we conserve energy, but somebody at my work told me, we ended up using just as much energy if not more, because people would stay outside during the daylight, and just stay up an hour later (by the clock) and use up just as much power. So the question is why did they make the DST period longer? do they think we'll actually not stay up as late during the first few weeks of spring and the last few weeks of fall? or am i just totally lost on this subject? |

The extra hour of evening light was nice today......I, of course woke up way too early (0600)this morning. To my surprise it wasn't totaly dark 
For all you computer folks, I have a question: All of my computers have sprung forward on their own. Are they going to spring forward again in three weeks  Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks

More kiting!! I am probably one of the few at work that welcome the new DST dates.
BTW -Came to work this am and my pc was supposed to have run the patch already but it didn't. Found the appropriate server then ran the patch myself.
Good point though pkh, meetings/Calendars are somewhat hosed until first sunday in april.
small price to pay for More kiting !!  |
