Another good rule is to replace the batteries in all the smoke detectors in your house.

I find it really is more functional to run things like cameras, computers, networking gear on GMT and forget DLST. It also covers any timezone.

Bush signed the new federal law, DST starts almost one month early, ends 1 week later than last year. So it's Nov 4.

It has great impact for birds/wildlife photographer, i'm some of the landscape shooter as well.

Heather you are correct. It is November 4th, it was moved.

Now go undo all the clocks. Here is what the correct time should be if you are in Dallas:

Both of my "old" VCRs changed their time automatically this weekend. I was REALLY confused as I THOUGHT I remembered the change had been moved back to next weekend.

At least my PCs wee smart enough to know about the updated time change.
