Time warp
It's that twice a year event again. 
Most of us get (have) to set the clocks ahead one hour. I'm in favor of "Set it and forget it". A few places in Canada don't bother with the time warp. Are there any in the USA? Russia is going to do away with messing with the clocks twice a year. Let's all join that movement. Stay on Daylight Saving Time all year round. We'll get used to it. DST was supposed to be a temporary wartime measure (so was income tax in Canada).

Indiana used to be that way but the idiots in charge changed it, now it's just Arizona and Hawaii. But I'm with you dude.

I like the change. I wish we did it once a week, with varying times changes. One week it would be 1 hour ahead, next week two back, just to mix it up a bit. I was thinking it would be cool to change the month every now and then, so that we could have hot weather in December like the Aussies. Actually it would be even cooler to change the side of the road we drive on once a day.
Just kidding, but I do like the change because where I live if we didn't do it we would have sunlight at 4 in the morning through the summer and it would be pitch black till 9 am in the winter. As it is we are in darkness at 4pm in winter. That is why there are so many Canucks fans at hockey games in Phoenix, L.A, and Anaheim. Half the country lives down there in the winter....

speaking of clocks anyone have a quick run down on changing the time on my '09? I rode it to work this morning 30º rides suck in the morning but it should hit over 65º today so the ride home will be nice.
Anyway my clock is an hour behind for some lame reason.
