I'm having issues with 'the clock thing.' My computer claimed, when I awoke an hour ago, that it was 4:35 am. My bedside alarm clock asserted that it was 3:35 am. Knowing that I did not adjust my bedside clock, I assume my computer and the evil empire of Bill Gates and company have colluded with the U.S. government to cajole my computer to agree with their interpretations of time.
Sometime in the night, the powers beyond took an hour from me and forced my computer to be complicit in the crime. Where did that hour go? I believe the Bush White House is stockpiling all the hours that the rest of us lost and will bring them back out for all to see just at the moment this imperial presidency is about to end: "Ha, ha, fooled you...we have another 260 million hours left in office! Remember those hours each of you lost? Well, we got them and we're tacking them onto this administration's time in office!" Horrors and maledictions, big damns and little damns!
Actually, I have no real complaints against changing the clocks early. If it will save energy, I'm for it. But a lot of farmers are plenty annoyed by the fact that the clock adjustment is robbing them of early daylight at a time of year they most want it, so they say.
My computer now claims it's 5:46 am, so I think I will creep back into the bedroom to see whether the bedside alarm clock has been infected with new time. If not, I may just get another hour's sleep, just because I want to.

You may well be right -- it could be a conspiracy. If you don't get those hours back in the fall, then be afraid.. be very afraid. (-:
We were just discussing how nice it is to see the sun still shining brightly at 6 p.m. I always wonder a bit when I hear that the farmers don't like the time change. I know quite a few farmers, and I've never heard any of them complain about the time. In fact, some of them like it as they can come indoors from the fields for an early dinner and then do a few extra hours of field work later. For cash croppers, etc... they've all got so much lighting on their tractors now, that some of them work all night anyhow... at least the guys up in our part of the country.
