Title: Daylight Savings Time
Post by: Toy Ranch on March 09, 2008, 12:29:13 PM
Remember that last night was the "Spring Forward" so be sure to move your clocks forward and replace smoke alarm batteries.

Best thing about Saskatchewan.  Long ago the farmers realized the livestock didn't know how to turn a clock forward, so they said screw daylight savings time.  The sun rose this morning at practically the same time it did yesterday.  Funny how that simple statement seems to be profoundly logical.

HEY, WATCH OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM:

Many VCR's can be set to automatically change their clocks for Daylight Savings Time BUT those VCR's DON'T KNOW that the dates for making the change has changed. If you're VCR is set to "Automatically adjust for DST" then it's going to "spring forward" on whatever weekend used to be the starting date for DST to begin (sometime in April or whenever).

Better check that it's set to NOT change automatically or you'll be confused and/or pissed in a few weeks.

Anybody know of any other machines with calenders in 'em that have an "Automatically change to DST" feature?
