Hello, my fellow Americans...did you remember to move all of your
timepieces, back an hour? Daylight Saving Time ended, early on Sunday
morning (November 1, 2009), in our country.

I, personally, needed to reset my wris****ch, several clocks, various
electronic devices, a number of digicams and my lone DSLR (Pentax
K100D); initially, I forgot a few of the devices (including some
cameras), and did them later.

As someone living in a country where DST is not used, I have never been
able to understand the logic behind the practice or how it's considered
to be worth all the disruption and adjustments it makes necessary. By
adjustments, I mean not just the twice-a-year resetting of clocks, but
also adjusting life (personal, business, time-critical management, etc.)
to the new timings. But I'm not blindly criticising something I don't
understand. I'm open to enlightenment.

No logic to it at all. It's claimed it saves energy, but a study in
Indiana (a 'split' state) showed that to be totally bogus. It's
psychological - that's all. And a huge waste of resources, resetting all
the damned clocks twice a year. It should certainly be abolished - would
make life simpler all the way around.
Maybe it doesnt matter to the **** ass small northeastern US states, but it
matters alot to those who live in the large mountain western states like Utah,
Nevada, Colorado etc...
