Growing up I was use to the daylight savings time to "fall back" an hour on the Saturday night before Halloween. This was always an easy way to remember the date to when we are suppose to go around the house changing all of the clock times. THIS YEAR, 2007 starts the first year time change will be occuring the Saturday AFTER Halloween!
This is confusing, what is the reason to changing this traditional time change from one weekend to the next? I heard one reason for this change is to some how save energy. How is one weekend going to save enough energy to throw a curve ball in peoples plans to fall back an hour?
My computer automatically switched back an hour following the traditional time change date. I guess I will be off by an hour all week until we officially change over.
Silliness.

this is the first time the fall time change has moved to a later date, but the spring time change has already been moved back 2 times - this means that there is less standard time now than in previous years
so i think maybe eventually we'll be on daylight savings time all year round (which i like better, cause it leaves some daylight in the evening when you get home; i don't mind getting up in the dark)
and i REALLY like the idea that if they do away with standard time and keep us on daylight savings time all year, we won't have to go through the time change twice a year, which can be very disruptive to sleep patterns , causing extreme grumpiness in the spring when everybody has to get up an hour earlier
