On another note, does anyone else have Sprint for their cell phones? My phone didn't pick up the time change and I cannot find anywhere in the phone where I am supposed to update it myself...

I used to have Sprint and it always took several hours for the phone to change to the correct time.

I love the time change...
I was working on a brief until 4AM, but thanks to the time change only 3AM!
Happy day.

I mixed up my AM/PM when I changed my alarm clock on Sunday and was almost late for work today!

I have Sprint and they always screw up my time the Saturday night before the time change. When I got text messages Saturday night, they all showed up an hour later than it actually was, and I freaked because I thought I was late for the party.
Hawaii doesn't observe DST and I hope we never do.

Ben Franklin obviously DID NOT have small children when he came up with this time change idea. My one-year old eats and sleeps on a schedule, and he doesn't get the time change. So I was up at 5 (which used to be 6) this morning. Hopefully he adjusts to this soon (or by next spring when we go back).

I didn't realize it was Franklin's idea...I guess they can't all be winners.
I learned in HS civics that this was passed b/c of a coalition of special interest groups, which included corporate farms and candy mfgs, with the candy co.s thinking the extra light would in the fall, for halloween, so more candy sales, so they bankrolled it, and then got screwed in the language

I think that this site explains the history & rationale reasonably well.
