For those of you who have forgotten, this AM was DST! In addition to changing all your clocks at home and in your vehicles, you need to update your settings here too!

Click this link to go to your personalized board settings page: ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=personal

Then click the radio button "YES" for the DST option. Hit submit and viola!

Got this from a friend down in AZ this AM.

It pretty much sums up Daylight Savings Time:

When told the reason
for daylight savings
time the Old Indian
said, "Only the
government would
believe that you could
cut a foot off the top
of a blanket, sew it to
the bottom, and have
a longer blanket"

What more could be said on the subject.

I had to change the board clock this am, right before I bumped the thread. If you made changes before then, I may have undone them.

Darn it. My daily wear Sea Dweller was within 4 seconds after I set it last month.
Had to set two grandfather clocks, have them both down to about 1/4 to 1/2 sec fast per day, not trying to regulate them anymore.
Thats pretty much as close as you can get with cased pendulum clocks.
Room temperature fluctuations, humidity, and imperfect level make it impossible to get to 0.00'.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.
