Don't forget to set your clocks 1-hour ahead tonight.

Usually, Daylight Savings Time falls on the first Sunday in April. This year it's been moved up.

Of course, this message doesn't apply to those of you in Arizona, or other states that don't mess with the clock. :-)

I don't have a clue as to how they do it.....it used to be that not only would the tv shows shown here be an hour later than shown in any tv listing...they would also be two days late.......but with broadcast satellites, tivo type technology I am sure they can target specific time zones.

Another interesting thing is that a show like Boston Lega for example that airs at 10pm on the west coast, airs at 9pm here....late news is on at 10 as opposed to 11......

If it changes the total number of hours that you are in the dark, then it does have an effect. If you get up at sunrise or later then you (theoretically) aren't using much electricity for lighting in the morning. If going to DST makes the sunset later for you and you go to bed at the same time with or without DST, then you are in the dark for an hour less in the evening with DST, so using an hour less lighting.

It's not about getting the full day of sunlight as much as it about how long you spend awake in the dark.

Chuck,

I just read that the Navaho Indian Reservation in Arizona does use DST. Wonder what they know?????

They know how to use peyote in their religious ceremonies. They smoke the old peace pipe and speak directly with Mother Nature.

That's what they know
