DST changes

Don't forget to set your clocks forward one hour Sunday, March 11! This is three week earlier than usual. Daylight Savings Time will end on November 4, a week later this year. The explanation? In 2005, a bill was passed to add 4 weeks of DST. It claims it can save energy by giving people more daylight time in the evening. This bill will take effect March 1, 2007, which has already passed, so be prepared!
Many are also saying that this will cause some problems for people that are not informed of the change. Being an hour late to work or school would not be very pleasing, so tell all your friends, and foes if you want.
