19. It does get weird though
when trying to remember if the east coast is 2 hrs or 3 hrs ahead depending on the time of year. And some cable shows come on at different times depending on where the cable company gets the feed.

That's why it was invented actually. :silly:

14. Why does it have to happen at all?
I'm not gonna sleep or shit right for a month.

Also forget about star gazing after work. In the summer it is not dark until 10:30.

20. 10:30? Really? wow
Here in the Phoenix area we don't use DST. The sun will set around 7:45pm in the summer. AAAhhhhh.... blessed relief when the sun goes down!

18. Do we change clocks Saturday night then?
So we wake up to the right time, right?

I can't remember. My grandma died so I have nobody who will call and remind me.

27. Oh it was a few years ago, it's ok.
But thank you.

I just always think of her when it's clock changin' time and have to laugh. Without fail I'd get the call:

"Hello, this is your grandma. Remember to change your clocks--you don't want to be the only one early/late do you?"

Because, I know so many other octogenarians who would be calling me to tell me about clock changing that she just had to identify herself each time. :D
