Turn your clocks ahead one hour tonight... SPRING forward in the Spring. FALL back in the Fall...

I have one of those wall clocks that gets a signal from the national atomic clock in Boulder , Co. several times per day to keep it accurate , it even resets itself for DST automatically . Now to find an alarm clock like it ...

Time reverts to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.

I've got an alarm clock that resets itself for DST. Was really annoying until last night. The snooze button is oversized, but there's only one spot you can *push* the button that it will work.... Got it at Walmart, they probably still carry them.

Ask them tomorrow after everyone has to get up 1 hour earlier for work.
How will it affect the TV schedules will our 5 oclock news be at 6 oclock now? How about prime time shows?
Man I can hear the money filling the banks of Indiana now that we are on DLST, industry is making a B-line to fill the empty factories. Oh wait that is Delphi moving out of Anderson.....So much for saving jobs.
Really I don't care. But I sure don't think this will be the saving grace for Indiana.

I hate it. I live in Indiana, but have worked in Ohio for ten years. So I pretty much have been living by DST for the past ten years.
Now I can get up at 3am. I'm not sure what I will do with that "extra" hour of daylight. Hmmm... maybe I'll go to bed "earlier".

I have no problem with DST but think the whole state should be on it or not. If I go see my friend who lives about two miles as the crow flies I will be in a different time zone. No big deal exept every time you make plans you have to determine which time you are going by. How about us having an INDIANA time?

The simplicity that would be, would cause us to lose more jobs and be the butt of more jokes!!!!
My wife grew up on the edge of Laport Co and St. Joe. Laport was on Chicago time(central) while St. Joe stayed on Indiana time. The school district was split between both zones. They have elementry schools that recognized eastern while the highschool recognized central, a small town that was in eastern but was up to the shops to choose between eastern or central time zone. This recent change didn't effect anything other then they will always be 1 hour difference.

Probably the most overblown story ever. We changed the clocks last night and woke up this morning and beleive it or not everything is still the same. Besides heading to the golf course at 7:30 in the evening and playing nine holes will be kind of nice.

My alarm clocks - two cats don't need resetting.
They climbed into our bed at daybreak and went into their poor hungry me routine.

People were acting like the Y2K freenzy all over again. Most of my clocks on electronics adjusted for DST themselves anyway. I admit, it was traumatic having to take the clock from the wall and adjusting it.....but I managed. I think some therapy in the turkey woods will help me get over this horrible adjustment that the EVIL Republican has put us through. Half of ya needed to show up to Church an hour early anyway....you need all the help you can get! LOL

Time Really Is Money for This Kid Everyone’s been told that time is money, but it seems that 18-year-old Evan Kelso actually listened. Kelso, an Indiana high school senior, woke up one day with an entrepreneurial bee in his bonnet and decided to capitalize on his state’s first foray into the wild world of daylight-saving time in 30 years. He’ll change all the clocks in your house — even the scary VCR ones — for $10. Kelso says he and his dad are always trying to think of ways to rake in some extra loot, so it seemed only natural to turn the dreaded “spring forward” into a cash cow. “I just kind of sat there and thought, ‘We’ve got to capitalize on this,’” Kelso said. But potential customers needn’t worry about not getting their money’s worth — buying time from Kelso is a steal for the technologically challenged. He says his offer includes changing the time on your microwaves, ovens, answering machines, cars, computers, watches and most anything else that ticks or clicks. For an extra buck, he’ll even install new batteries. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190368,00.html
