Whatthehell?!?!? We set our clocks forward THIS weekend?

Ahh, this will make it will be easier for us in the south to take advantage of Twilight fees at the golf course.

Get ready, it's supposed to be 91 on Thursday!

I got windburn walking into the office this afternoon and it's currently a balmy 13 degrees (Feels like 4!).

Suck it, Angola!

Plus, the extra hour of daylight helps with the snow melt.

Sadly, Indiana has adopted daylight savings time, thus ending generations of mindbending confusion around this time of year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana

I remember a great AP story a few years ago about how, because of the state's two time zones and its refusal to adopt DST, the state was losing businesses and nobody could figure out what the hell time it was. There were goofy things, too, like if you lived in the Central time zone and worked in the Eastern time zone, you'd leave at 6:30 to drive 30 minutes to work, and get there at 9.

And some people here are still pissed about changing the clocks. Not me.

Kentucky is divided, almost in half, by the Eastern and Central time zones.

One of our schools baseball/basketball/softball/volleyball teams play in a region where all of the schools are on Central time, and every team from the region hates traveling to said school for games.

Heck, my county has both time zones for some reason. Granted the time zone line is only a few feet (maybe 50-75) from the county line where there are almost no houses, but it's still weird.

That would confuse me so badly. I've never been out of the Eastern Time Zone, so having it that close to go back and forth would be really weird.

I blame Bush.

. A U.S. law signed by President George W. Bush in 2005 extended the length of daylight saving time by four weeks. It now begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March. It ends on the first Sunday in November.

There's other goofy facts there.

Another stupid move by President Stupid.

It's not bad, but it sucks when a county has a high school in each time zone. At least I'm pretty sure a county in our region is like that.

But if you left work at 5, you'd be home by 3:30

gola's got the right idea; Nothing like walking off the golf course at sunset, and it's 9:00

Supposed to hit 83 here thurs.

I guess that's apparently the wrong term. But very forceful cold wind that chaps the face and freezes hurts like hell. And we've managed to build a wind tunnel with no tall buildings on campus. Wheeeee.
