Don't stop saving that daylight just yet

Because I'm sure you come to The Jerc Store for vital information, I just wanted to clear up some confusion some may be having regarding daylight savings time. Do not turn your clocks back tomorrow (Sunday, Oct. 28)!!

*The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by the U.S. Congress July 2005, extended daylight saving time in the U.S. by approximately four weeks. As a result, beginning in 2007, DST for the U.S. will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed. These four weeks are referred to in this article as the "extended DST period." - from Microsoft.com

So again, turn your clocks back NEXT Sunday, not tomorrow. You're welcome.
