<div>Dear cranky,</div>
<div>Your vcr will always go back to 12:00 unlike our town clock which periodically drifts in and out no matter what the season. As for the capitalistic desire to keep daylight hours for working, this will change when we start living by the seasons again, in other words never which is unfortunate 'cause i kinda like the idea myself.</div>

I got to set the alarm for 2 am, get up, then wakeup enough to change
the clock on the VCR. By the time I figure out how to do that its 2 AM
again! Gees I lose sleep.
And The Washington Post today explained why I'm grumpier than normal do
to this foolish, fuelish effort to save energy. I believe I've seen
studies that say because of our 24/7 life style this tinkering with
mother nature cost more energy trying to keep the sun up.
Question - Next Sunday will my VCR blink 11:00 instead of 12:00? Or if I
don't set it back will it blink 1:00? Now I'm going to lose an other
hours sleep.
Thank you Rob
Lou
