Daylight Saving 2007

This Sunday is daylight saving time. Everyone in the US loses an hour. :( The rules for daylight saving changed this year in order to try to conserve more energy and ... blah blah blah. For some background on the changed date:


On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

more details

The one bright side to all of this is that we are expected to have a high of 78 degrees on Sunday. It'll be a beautiful day and even though we all woke up earlier we will have a gorgeous day to enjoy. What will you do to make the most out of the day? If I am feeling particularly motivated I'll wash the car and perhaps even BBQ again

Go Bush! Of all the friggin things that his administration could do, this seems to be the only thing that is getting any "positive" press. I'm looking forward to elections.
