[Cialug] Daylight Saving Time changes

[Stuart Thiessen]

I thought the same.  I googled about it and found this:

New Federal Law—Springing Forward in March, Back in November

Months after Indiana passed the law that got it in step with the rest
of the country, the federal government announced a major change in
Daylight Saving Time. In Aug. 2005, Congress passed an energy bill that
included extending Daylight Saving Time by about a month. Beginning in
2007, DST will start the second Sunday of March and end on the first
Sunday of November.

Thanks,

Stuart
