Spring Forward A Bit Earlier This Year
Saturday, March 10, 2007


WASHINGTON — A traditional rite of spring, setting the clocks forward, comes early this year.

Most of the nation switches to daylight saving time early Sunday morning. The change comes a few weeks earlier than it used to, thanks to a change in the law. Daylight time will last until Nov. 4 this year.

It's also a good time to put new batteries in warning devices such as smoke detectors and hazard warning radios.

Some parts of the country don't observe daylight saving time. Those include Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

if you havent had automatic updates on then your computer will not know to change the time. At least that is what I heard from someone.

we got a recorded message from Direct TV to update our DVR - of course, we can't get a call to connect from the DVR to "whatever it's supposed to connect to" only thing I'm concerned with is stuff I've set to record on TiVo - guess we'll have to see what happens.....

The only clock I've changed has been my alarm clock. The others will just have to wait until I give a damn.

my computer updated itself as did the DVR in our bedroom but the other 3 not connected to a phone line didn't - DirectTV is working on a "fixer" to do "something" not a big deal to us though.. as long as we can still set things to record (even though it's shows 6PM instead of 7PM, I dont' care)
