.. it's back to wintertime here. I totally forgot about it, noticed my two battery operated clocks were an hour out, so I figured the batteries had now really died. I still didn't think about it till a friend mentioned it an hour ago ANd there was me thinking I was late with dinner! Anywho .. that means I'm an hour closer to you guys west of Europe, just for another week .. I hope you can feel the difference, being closer to me

Not sure about you Crystal but I find it to be a pain Think every country has day light saving time. I don't mind wintertime, an extra hour of sleep. Summertime I don't like, losing an hour. Usually takes me about a week to adjust.

Ah, yes... time travel in this primitive form, is almost unbelievable!

In the USA, Daylight Savings Time does not end until the 2nd of November this year.

Yes, that's why I am now closer to you You are? Well, sort of .. But you should understand the Laws of Physics and time travel better than I do... It ain't rocket science: if I jump on a plane to go to your side of the Atlantic, I will travel back in time as I get closer to you. At the moment there's an hour less in between you and me. Which must mean I am also physically closer ..

In Arizona we don't celebrate daylight savings. We all agreed it was started by the military industrial complex and greeting card corporations. You can change our clocks out of our cold dead hands. Tempus fugit Never forget!
