Step away from the clock!
Hm. Didn't hear about that. My phone and computer updated themselves I guess. I've been getting where I need to be on time (mostly school). Other than that I don't keep track of it. Time doesn't mean a whole lot to me besides daylight and dark, hot time and cold time. But we're finding out things that affect the calendar every year. I saw something on Nat Geo or Discovery that was saying the moon is gradually getting farther from Earth and that the moon has dramatic effects on the speed and stability of the Earth's rotation. So our calendar is probably pretty far out of whack considering how old it is, no matter how good the old astronomers were. They still couldn't tell us a small fraction what we know about space and time ('cept maybe Einstein) these days. So I think we should simplify the calendar or something to account for the extra four seconds in every day (something like that). Til then, uh...guess I'll just keep going by the universal clock that sets our cell phones and computers.

It is now scheduled for the first Sunday in November. This year, we "fall back" on Nov. 4. U.S. Congress made the change in the Energy Conservation Act of 2005, which also changed the start of daylight-saving time, when we "spring forward" and set our clocks one hour later. Daylight-saving time began this year on the second Sunday of March; it used to start on Rating: 5
