    Yes, it happens this weekend and we sill don't like it. Trouble is, few do like it but politicians get their way. We voted it down in the state but it didn't matter; we still got it because the idiots in Lansing think they know what is good for us...

    I'm a creature of the previous time change, this new one will take a lot longer to get used to.

    True, but I'm not a fan of my daughter going to school in the dark in the morning.

    There is supposed to be a vote I believe today to see if MA. could switch to Atlantic time zone for the winter months. Idally they would like all of New England to switch over. Darkness at 4 30 pm makes for a long winter.

    Yup.

    But you'll probably most likely see it twice a year! :D

    Funny too that every year we see polls asking if you like it. I've never seen the likes win, but the polls seem meaningless.
