What the hell?

daylight savings

anyone else get a chuckle out of the latest from our government?

what genius ideas do they have? (that will muck up international travel, raising the cost of travel?)

As a step to save energy, Congress appears poised to extend U.S. daylight-saving time for two months, starting it earlier, on the first Sunday in March, and ending it later, on the last Sunday of November.

doesn't sound like a big deal. the idea is to keep the amount of electricity we use down to a minimum. (we'd consume less petroleum.) aside from going to work in the dark (ok, that's annoying) it would widen even further the time difference with Europe and India. I refuse to make calls before 7am. Sidenote: if you're a parent sending your child to school in the dark might call for alternate commute options. (Hello creepy stalkers and murderers.)
