For some reason Bush changed it to start earlier and end later pushing more of it into the spring and fall.

Daylight Saving Time (or summertime as it is called in many countries) is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing clocks by one hour during the summer. During Daylight Saving Time, the sun appears to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually asleep anyway, and sets one hour later in the evening, seeming to stretch the day longer.

The reason DST works is because its saves energy due to less artificial light needed during the evening hours—clocks are set one hour ahead during the spring, and one hour back to standard time in the autumn. Many countries observe DST, and many do not.

Note: Between March–April through September–November, it is summer in the northern hemisphere, where many countries may observe DST, while in the southern hemisphere it is winter. During the rest of the year the opposite is true: it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern

From the world clock, so there

Ok. :-)

Frankly I wish there was no such thing as day light savings time, I liked the old way just fine. :-)

I like having extra light into the night in the summer. Helps to get that late 18holes in. Been many times where I had a great round going and finished 17,18 in almost complete darkness to make a score.
