Start of story on CNN.com:

"An agreement was reached Thursday to extend daylight-saving time in an effort to conserve energy, but not to the extent the House approved in April.

I do think it has a psychological difference in the way people generally feel. You just feel better and want to do more when it's light out. Well, most people anyway. Then you have night owls like me.

With it being so hot I mowed my lawn after dark this week. Not your usual night owl activity...

I just bought the DVD for "Groundhog's Day" and was wondering if the day will cease to have any meaning.

Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November here in the U.S.
