Stop the US daylight saving madness!

Backwards ClockWe're gonna have some fun here in Indiana next month. Dawn about 8:30am and sunsets at 8:30pm ... equinox, ya know. That'll screw me up big time, as I'll be forced to open the hen house in the dark, before I go to work. Right when the coyotes are starting to have their litters, and the moms start getting hungry.

Hmm, on second thought, maybe there's a lawsuit in there somewhere!

US plans to change daylight saving hours this spring could wreak havoc on computer systems, Gartner claims. The analyst firm said automated systems could run haywire this March.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
