#1 Since 'Daylight' now covers far more months then 'Standard', how about just shifting the country east time wise? Eastern becomes Atlantic, Central becomes Eastern, Mountain becomes Central, and Pacific becomes Mountain [with Arizona doing whatever it wants to do]. Message for the beltway boobies - We have other points of time reference other than 19th Century railroad operations.

#3 "From our standpoint, it gives us an extra hour of daylight at night, so we're able to get more things done," says Beretta. "(But) for the first week or so, it's tough for the cows to adjust."

Of course it is; have you ever tried to hold a clock and reset the time without opposing thumbs?

#4 Remember, folks. Spring ahead, fall back...

Don't forget your smoke detector: Spring, batteries in...Fall, batteries out.

Thank You for the reminder SteveS: Take it from me, just did the SCBA thing yesterday and Smoke Detectors did save lives. And property.
