I'm seriously loving this time change. I woke up at 6 this morning and the sun was just rising. Now that's what I'm talking about, daddy-o.

wow you have some really bad car clocks.
mine is analog so I can spin it right round in any direction. I can imagine how painful it must be with a digital one if you can only go forward. ____________________

| I refer to the tachometer for purposes of maintaining more efficient gasoline usage. A lower RPM at the same speed as you might be at a higher RPM = less gas consumed. Slow acceleration is also a plus. Also, daylight savings is an outdated practice that no longer serves any reasonable purpose. |

| Beyond the jetlag effect for about a week or so I'm actually quite fond of Daylight savings. But then I'm far enough south that the length of day changes dramatically between the seasons and it is actually worthwhile for the extra daylight time. Summer Solstice has days starting at about 6:45 am and ending at about 9pm, while the Winter Solstice has days starting at about 8 am and ending at 4:45 pm. Also Analogue clocks are amazing and more people should have them. |

I'd prefer a digital in that case - it's easier to read, which would be a big benefit while driving.
