It used to be: Spring ahead, Fall back. Now it is Winter ahead, Fall
back. Except in parts of Indiana and the entire state of Arizona. I
once crossed the Hoover Dam to have a two hour time difference at the
other side. That was odd!

Today, Sunday March 8th, 2015, is the DST Transition day, so-called Spring
Forward, so today has only 23 hours. Count them, 23 hours. In the Fall, we
have a day with 25 hours.
So, is today a slow day? If you pile in the same activity and number of events
today as any other ordinary 24 hour Sunday, then you might say it is a Fast
Day. I mean, Events per Hour must go up if Events are constant and hours drop
by 1.
But, it could also be a fast day just merely thinking that at 23 hours, there
is less time to complete this day and thus tomorrow comes more quicker -- thus,
today must be faster.
How is it that your day is slower?

P.S. Yes, I am waiting for the varnish to dry on the raised panel door out in
the garage. When you are waiting, time marches on at a slower pace -- so,
maybe today is a slow day if you are waiting for something.

They moved the length of DST due to energy conservation issues, Kevin:
"The current schedule was introduced in 2007 and follows the Energy Policy Act of 2005
<http://www.timeanddate.com/laws/us/energypolicyact2005.html>, which extended the period
by about one month. Today, DST starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first
Sunday in November."

It appears I have missed the change to daylight savings time. Why in the world
did they change it so early?
At any rate stick with the local times and change the Z time.
The sunspot number is low but the solar flux is over 100 which bodes well for
this afternoon's nets.
