    I just hope this year the Daylight Savings Bank isn't going to fall victim to the Credit Crunch. ;)

    You're insured for the first 30,000 hours anyway. Unless you're a timelord, you're fine.

    So, is this what they mean when they talk about "daylight robbery"?

    Think of all the sub-prime folk living on borrowed time, though...

    Actually, Senator McCain has been trying to set the clock back 50 years for a while now.

    Napolitano cancelled that out though.

    The more I think about it, the more I wish the time change would occur in the middle of the day rather than at night. That way, I would lose an hour of work, instead of an hour of sleep.

    Unless of course you work at night, like I do sometimes. :hugegrin:

    (Sadly, I think I am working during the daytime when British Summer Time begins... :( :( :()

    Ideally, I think maybe 8pm would be better for me. I work nights, too (usually 4pm to midnight).

    Depends on the channel - the local channels like CTV don't move the times of their shows because it's a local listing for SK. But national channels like Treehouse (the kids TV channel) does move all its shows to fit the DST of the rest of the country, so for us all the shows are an hour different.

    Someone once told me that Daylight Savings Time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that Daylight Savings Time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived.

    DST normally doesn't bother me, but I definitely felt my missing hour of sleep last night. Getting up today was rough (it didn't help that the weather was cold and rainy).
