Where outside the U.S.? Europeans call it something different, and the
starting and ending dates sometimes differ, but SFAIK it's pretty much
world-wide.

Other countries don't necessarily change on the same dates we do, though.
For instance, in Australia, it's switched around, and the dates still
don't match.

Well Dah! Guess who forgot what day it was and set her clock forward. So,
I am up, showered, hair done and make up. I was standing by the frontdoor
waiting on my ride to work and thought it was sunny that no cars were at the
small factory across the street. Then, I thought if this was Sunday, there
wouldn't be. Then, cars started showing up. A man and wife that work there
and come sit at my picnic table in the warm weather for their lunch hollered
and asked me why I was up so early. Oh well, another day in paradise.

Aha! So it's William Willet's effigy that we want to burn. And today
would be the very best day to burn it here in the States.

Oops! :-) I did that once in California, Had a church choir job, and
managed to show up a good hour before the normal Sunday choir practice!
(Better than the time I forgot in the fall, though, and barely got
there in time to sing for the service!)

Then are you still singing (my drummer relative calls jobs "gigs") for
fun
and/or profit, Evelyn? You never say much about it these days.
As for DST when I lived back on the east coast in south FL we were
always puzzled about the purpose of DST....it used to stay daylight
down there till about 9pm in midsummer. Since living in MileHigh I
can tell you I never knew the meaning of "dark days" before but
DST really makes a big difference locally; people get off work before
the dark curtain falls and have some time to linger outside with their
families in evening. And when the weather is bad daylight makes a
big improvement for their commute home on the interstates, which
are often skating-rink driving quality.

I love DST. I just hate the change. The cows hate it. DH feeds when he
gets home
at 4:30 p.m.; they're lined up watching for his truck to turn into the
drive every
evening. They'll be so confused. :-)

Ditto. But the way I look at it is this: DST is a treat, we get an extra
hour of daylight in the evening. So we pay a little fee for the privilege
by having to give up an hour one weekend in March (or April, or January,
or whenever They decide it will be).

In the fall, going back to standard time, when it will get dark out
earlier and just overall feel colder and more wintry, we do get the
consolation prize of having an extra hour one weekend in October - which
we night people really appreciate!

So, I'll have one less hour tomorrow. But that's OK because I don't
have much planned tomorrow anyway. And then it will finally be light
out as I leave work, yay!

Us Aussies have the same fun as you guys do in the USA. Some states do
Daylight Savings, some don't. And those that do change on different dates.
Its maddening.

So, Tasmania started Daylight Saving (Spring Forward) on the 7th of October
last year, whilst New South Wales (NSW), The Australian Capital Territory
(ACT), Victoria (Vic), South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA)
started daylight savings on the 28th of October, 2007. Queensland (QLD) and
the Northern Territory (NT) don't do daylight savings. TAS, NSW, ACT, VIC, &
SA stop daylight savings on the 6th of April 2008, but WA stops earlier on
the 30th of March.

In winter, Australia has 3 time zones - AEST (Australian Eastern Standard
Time), and thats QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and TAS. SA & NT are half an hour behind
behind AEST on ACST (Australian Central Standard Time). WA is 2 hours behind
AEST, being Australian Western Standard time (AWST).

In Summer, it has 5, because QLD and NT don't observe Daylight Savings

But in the transitional period, there can be up to 7 different time zones,
as states change on different dates.

And we've only got 8 states!

LOL, that's why I posted it. You have warm weather now?
It's cold here

Oh yeah, I lived in MileHigh, and those roads can be deadly in winter. One
things I did like about living there was washing the sheets, and hanging
them outside in the freezing snow for a few days then let them dry in the
cold sun and boy, did they smell good, and yes I had lots of spare good
smelling sheets.
