The clocks go forward! Yup, in the US, the DST is wackier than ever, new time, this Sunday at 2Am it begins. So make sure to set your clocks ahead.

This is more a problem for church goers, for many Messianics we just read the paper at a different time! :D

So March 9th, mark your calendar!

This is only the second year for the change so we aren't used to it, it came to be.............

Date change in 2007
On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

I think I figured out my confusion, Purim is exactly a week from the 15th of March this year. The 15's got me mixed up! :doh:

Put yourself a post-a-note on your alarm clock to remember to change the clock before retiring on Sat night. That way you won't forget!
