Next Sunday at 2:00 AM for the states.
I hate waking up at 2AM and changing all the clocks. Why don't they do it at noon?

That's the one time I just wait till the morning. That extra hour during the day would drag so much. But that springing forward during the day would be so nice.

Good question. Do we even need daylight savings time?
I was being facetious. If I could change anything, it would be that we would spring forward at about 2PM on Fridays and fall back around 6AM on Mondays so each time change results in a longer weekend.
Going to lose an hour springing forward to DST no matter what day you do it.

I leave half of my clocks on DST and half off. That way, 50% of them always have the correct time, and I don't have to screw around changing them! :laugh:
Wait!! Is that tonight??? Clocks back 1 hour tonight???) I thought it was next weekend .. No?
Shoot!!
Yes, next weekend.
I've done that.
I was confused to lol

Whoa are you serious?!
Wow... I have no idea what this is about and I was silly and thought it was a joke or something...
Hmm.
Is it all about this? - I went a seekin.
DST ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, setting clocks back one hour | JPost | Israel News
Hmm... I need to see what DST is all about... I know it means "Daylight Savings Time" but ... I do not know what that really means.
Me / Stinky = El Stupido
And for some very strange reason everyone thinks I am smart.
Im loving it!
xD
We call it DST, the UK does the same thing and calls it BST and has different change dates.
All sorts of wives tales are told to explain how it started.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time
Days are longer in summer in the northern hemisphere but during winter and summer sunrise and sunset don't just change, the times actually warbles back and forth some.
One of my astronomer friends used to have a nice model on the web so you could see all the sunlight effects of an elliptical orbit of a tilted spheroid, Earth. If I find similar, I'll post a link.
Once upon a time, a lot of our towns varied time daily - when the sun was up as far as it would go that day, it was noon.
That's an honest and rational way of doing time against the sun but makes things like train scheduling impossible.
So the whole planet got carved into arbitrary time zones and all concept of time against the sun is now replaced with just a collective bargain for convenience.
And for the summer, some places change the deal.

I thought extremely quickly how to help you out - I am weirdly / oddly damn quick in emergencies.
Let go with arms wide open.

Hey Stinky! I'm not at all surprised you like these guys, I used to go see them play back in the early to mid eighties. The thing is, back then they called themselves the Cockroaches. Great pub rock/pop band. I might even have their LP kickin' around somewhere.
