Default Daylight Saving Time 11/4

[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Are you ready for Daylight Saving Time on November 4th?[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]In case you forgot:[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Beginning in 2007, daylight saving time (DST) will be extended in the United States. DST will start on March 11, 2007, which is three weeks earlier than usual, and it will end on November 4, 2007, which is one week later than usual (more details on the new DST start and end times can be found [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]here[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]). This results in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than in previous years.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]

Yup, don't forget that Nov 3 at, what, 2 am? we'll be falling back!

That means an extra hour of sleep before our big race

I hate waking up in the dark. Makes getting out of bed so hard!

Days/sunlight get shorter.. instead of it being dark at 6:45~ like it is now, it'll be 5:45.. then less and less.
