New Us Dates For Daylight Savings Time

Just thought I would bring this to everyone's attention. This article is abstracted from Wikipedia:
"From 2007
Beginning in 2007, DST will start on the second Sunday in March (March 11, 2007), and change back to standard time on the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007). Under Section 110 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy is required to study the impact of the DST extension no later than nine months after the change takes effect. Congress has retained the right to revert to the DST schedule set in 1986 if it cannot be shown that there are significant energy savings from an extension of DST or if the extension may prove to be unpopular with the American public. One potential issue is that some northern regions on the western edge of time zones will, for the first time since the 1974-75 "almost year round" DST experiment, have sunrise times that occur after 8am."

Having sunrise so late would be wonderful, it would be light later in the evening.
and I vote for that later sunrise too...because it will let me sleep in longer on days I don't work!!!
I enjoyed the later time change in '06 and can't wait for the earlier change in March ![]()
