Americans, expect your clocks to be screwed up

[thewayne]

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.

Word! If I ever open a business in an area with DST, half the year it'll be open 10-6, the other half 9-5. I have no particular use for it.
