see this is why I go tanning in the winter time. Well that and to not be so pasty white. I think it actually helps.

So we roll the clocks back sunday at sundown or what?

Spoken like a true New Yorker. I never did get used to last call at 2 when I moved to NJ. :tsk: It's good to be back

THEN, on top of that, it's not well known, but there's a provision in the law that says this is a test year, and DST could go back to the original dates next year if this doesn't work out. So if they kill the law, I have to go back and remove the patch from my entire UNIX/Solaris/Linux environment.

Oh well, worse things have happened in life...
I like to think of it as job security!
