Americans, expect your clocks to be screwed up

Yesterday (Sunday) at around 2am would have been Daylight Savings Time, where our clocks go backwards one hour. Because of The Shrub, we had a law passed that allegedly saved energy, and expanded the dates of DST by something like one week on each end. Some electronic clock-based systems couldn't be patched, so expect a little bit of weirdness. My Palm Pilot updated itself incorrectly, so I had to reset it and shall have to do it again next Sunday, likewise I just noticed a board that I post to listed the incorrect time.

Oh, the official word of Congress and the Gov't on how much fuel was saved by making DST start earlier by a week or so: none.

If nothing else, DST makes me glad I live in AZ.

Did you know that not all of AZ doesn't go on DST? The Navajo Nation recognizes it.

It seems like I knew that, though I'm not sure why.
