DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS OCTOBER 29, 2006
In the early hours of Sunday morning, Daylight Savings Time will end at 2:00 a.m., adding an extra hour to the day. Be sure to turn your clocks back an hour!
What do you think about DST? Like it? Loathe it? Indifferent?
Safety Tip: Change the batteries in your smoke detectors when you turn your clocks back!!
When you move clocks back Saturday night/Sunday morning, change the batteries in smoke detectors. Although it is estimated that 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke detectors, one third are estimated to have dead batteries or are not working. A working smoke detector more than doubles your chance of surviving a fire in your home.

I live in Indiana too, and we've had it for quite some time...as long as I can remember. But the majority of the state doesn't, which makes it difficult for workers who work outside of that zone. I think it's only a tiny tip of the state that falls under the DST. It's a big political issue on the ballot this election. Most people absolutely hate it, as I do.
Apparently, the reasoning is that DST prevents the children from boarding the school buses in the dark...but I'd rather have the extra daylight hours later in the day....darkfall comes about 5pm under DST, and that sucks.

We have had daylight savings for years here in NZ. Ours changed an hour forward for spring at the beginning of October. I love it when it changes forward, but hate the change back for winter. I already get confused with the time differences but now its going to be REALLY confusing.

Up here in THE GREAT WHITE NORTH it's dark in the morning and dark again soon after 4....only makes a difference for a week 'r two....DUH!
Like an old farmer told Johnny Carson once....."the cows 'n chickens know when it's day 'n night, don't need clocks!

When you've got animals they already know what the time is. I gave up trying to convince my animals there was a time change so now I get up at 05.00 Zulu time ( the time by which all aviation and military manoevres are based on) 365 days a year. I get my lost hour back in the Spring clock change
