BajaNomad - HAPPY DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TO 48 STATES!

HAPPY DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TO 48 STATES!

David K - 3-8-2009 at 03:17 AM

It is Sunday, March 8 and in the United States (except Arizona and Hawaii) clocks have moved ahead 'Spring Ahead' one hour... allowing many to have an extra hour of daylight after work... You lost an hour, but will get it back in November.

On Baja Nomad, to adjust the time of posts to match with true time where you are, go to the top of the page and click 'Control Panel/ Options'... then 'Edit Profile' and scroll down the page to find the time zone setting...

If you are in California (normally Pacific Time), you want to change that to Mountain Time....

Mexico (except Sonora, to match Arizona) changes next month (when we used to).

so I guess that means you california dudes are on the same time now as us in BCS.

David K - 3-8-2009 at 09:44 AM

YES... it's 9:45 am (but it 'feels' like 8:45)!!! :lol:

This includes most prvinces in Canada. Comencing DST today. All but Saskatchewan, I believe.

Interseting on how Canada stays in sinc with us (NAFTA?), but Mexico didn't... Daylight savings didn't even exist in Mexico (in non border states) years ago.

If we didn't stay in sinc, can you imagine the confusion with flight schedules? DST makes perfect economic sense besides that it gives the 'worker' an extra hour fun after work, provided they have a day-job.

That darn o was missing all the time. Laptop needs cleaning.

And all this confusing nonsense, just because some dufus congresman wanted to get his name in the books. :no:

Woooosh - 3-8-2009 at 02:02 PM

I always set my clock ahead a decade or two when entering the USA. What's an hour down here in Mexico? An hour late or early is still pretty much on-time.

Don't we 'fall back' at the end of October? Or, did that change also?

That's why I love Arizona! We have no "time" for such foolishness and we don't need to save no steenking daylight. We got plenty to spare.

I wrote on this time change issue/difference last year. If any of you are interested, here is a link:

Good thing they don't change.

Can you imagine how difficult it would be for the Kidnappers to stay in Sync Juggling DST, MST and Mex time ?

They'd be whacking victims all the time because they "Thought" the ransom didn't arrive on time.

Leo - 3-9-2009 at 10:21 AM

Does anybody really know what time it is.... ?

Time Change Leaves Tijuana, San Diego 1 Hour Apart

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Border-One-Hour-Separa...

"But Baja California will not make the shift until the first Sunday in April, meaning that clocks south of the border will remain on Pacific Standard Time for the next four weeks. Starting Sunday, the local time in Tijuana is one hour later than it is in San Diego."

wtf? one hour later? nope.

I just found out something interesting. XP has a seperate setting for Tijuana. Yesterday I set my computer clock back but today it jumped forward. So I reset the time zone for Tijuana. Problem solved.

Springing Forward, then Falling Back

MrBillM - 3-9-2009 at 07:28 PM

My "Atomic" clock correctly reset to Daylight Savings Time and THEN (last night) reset to Standard time. Even it seems confused. Very strange.

"Fall Back" on November 1

thebajarunner - 3-9-2009 at 10:16 PM

well, at least in Gringolandia,
not sure when it happens in Mexico

my atomic clock also set and re-set.

methinks it is outthinking its master

(a scary thought indeed)

bajalou - 3-9-2009 at 10:19 PM

Mexico, back on Oct 25th - last Sunday in Oct.
