saterday is daylight savings time I do believe don't forget to set the clocks ahead
According to the U.S. Naval Observatory's Astronomical Applications Dept:

(set your clocks forward early early Sunday morning)
WAHOO! ONE EXTRA HOUR OF FISHING EVERY NIGHT AFTER WORK!!!
And more to come in the next few weeks!
Maybe I'm a stick-in-the-mud, but I have never seen the use of changing the time around.
Yes, I have heard all the arguments for and against, and can still see no real purpose for it. Sorry.

ok, Byron, call me crazy but the post right on top of yours is good enough reason for me!
I for one can not wait till we move the clocks ahead. ONE MORE HOUR OF FISHING! YESSSS!
I'm with you, Byron.
This is the 21st Century. We are no longer involved with WWI. More and more states and countries are making their own time rules.
I hate changing my clock and changing my sleeping habits.
I need to write to our congressmen and state: "Change the time 1/2 hour and LEAVE it that way. It's time we get over this silly, insane habit. We're a grown nation, let's start acting like one and get rid of useless procedures."
Clearly you don't have a child that goes to kindergarten 1/2 day. Right now the BWO hatch has moved forward to the point that it's basically over when I get to the river. Once we set the clocks forward though, I'll be right back in it. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

Seven more days till I finish my job with
the County's Paddle Trails. Then my watch
is just to keep me from missing "Happy
Hour".*G* Warm regards, Jim

Jeremy,
I have two elementary kids. I live 43 36 00 N. I know some of you live farther north. Matter of fact, I once did, too. I stationed in Anchorage for nearly 2 years. Winter solstice and summer solstice was something very unique.
It still does not change the fact that the idea behind "daylight savings" is nearly 100 years old. We're dealing with a century worth of growth, progress, and change.
I think we can safely put out-of-date and bygone practices behind us, look at the calendar, and realize that it's 2006.
