I guess that's why I doubted my clocks: since it was moved up I didn't know if my clocks would "know." Someone must have told them, because they updated just fine.

I'm curious, though, what were the political reasons? I think DST started for the farmers, right? Well, that's what I've heard though I don't know why that would be either...farmers run their big machines all night around these parts.
