it's 7:30am. it's grey outside. i am sitting at my computer with lights turned on that didn't have to be turned on friday morning at 7:30am. how, exactly, is switching to DST 2 weeks earlier supposed to save energy?
look, i don't know what romantic nostalgia holds sway in the halls of the capitol, but the 21st century american life does not, in fact, follow the solar day. our workdays and schooldays aren't starting later so that we don't have to turn on the lights this morning that we were turning on in the evening last week. there is no valid argument for the industrial world. and as for the agricultural world, cows don't care what human clocks say. my cat is quite confused this morning.
i'd say i hope they pass a law this week and change DST back to what it was, but having gone through the mess the last couple weeks with computer patching, it seems a pity to waste it.

I think it does relate to the automatic shutoff timers for the heat system in peoples houses, though.
