So the US has not "sprung forward" yet so to speak? I'm in Germany and we set our clocks a hour earlier this past Sunday.

Thanks for posting this. I am looking forward to it. It will definitely help personal moods when the weather is cold in March and fall.

Next week, we go back to standard time. Here's a neat website that discusses daylight saving time.

HC Daylight Savings Time in Atlanta SUCKS?
HC it seems like no matter what time of year it is, it is dark at 7 a.m.?
HC how am I ever supposed to make it out of bed and to work at a decent hour if its DARK at 7 a.m. and still almost pitch black at 6 a.m.?
HC this sucks?
