I swear it is a week later this year. Halloween was always dark. But when I looked to see when Daylight savings ends it is Nov 4th. Am I wrong has it always been in Nov?

This is the first year they have the change at the "new" time. It was earlier in the spring and later in the fall. So no - you aren't losing your mind......at least not about This!!!
Thank you I feel better now......about this!Quote:

it was yet another bad decision made by the bush administration. Daylight savings time buys us nothing here in the Northwest....grumble grumble grumble.
Being from Canada I'm used to daylight savings..
The WA gov't introduced daylight savings to Western Australia last year & the population thinks the world will come to an end becuase of it!!! I can't believe all the whingeing because of it. Some of the arguments were really really pathetic.

Well just think about it. "Daylight savings" time... during the time of the year when the days are LONGER? That means they save up the daylight while we're at work... so they can sell it back to us for the rest of the year. :rolleyes:
I hate daylight savings. It means I have to get up an hour earlier. Can't wait till it goes back to normal and I can sleep an extra hour. :)
And can I add, thanks so much USA for making DST longer because of course we just had to follow along here in Canada. :P :D
When we lived in AZ, we didn't have daylight saving time (by the way, no "s" at the end of saving). I really missed getting that extra hour of daylight in the summertime evenings. Although, I suppose another hour of daylight would have meant we might not get down into the 90's for the low . . . No, I really don't miss AZ! :p
We start our DST here at the weekend. I am soooo looking forward to being able to get 50km of hills or a proper dirt ride in after work. :D
I'm with you Diva - I'm so looking forward to enough daylight after work to ride
We should go for a ride sometime. :)
Yeah that would be col - lets PM some time once the weather is reliably good
This was an energy bill passed by CONGRESS in 1995 with a lot of democratic support. No need to blame one man for this.....politics is just that...politics. IMO it's a good idea.
