ummm... a big part of the fun for kids is being able to t-or-t in the DARK! Roaming the streets in the dark is a special thing that they don't normally get to do.

Exactly!

When I used to go T-o-Ting, my friends and I never began our candy collecting mission before darkness. That's just not Halloween! I have reason to believe the tradition continues because it's still extraordinarily rare to see other lil'uns in search of confections prior to the sun setting in my neck o da hood.

There is no dark side. Don't you listen to Pink Floyd?

It's all dark...

Okay, this could be annoying. I just read an article that points out a valid concern should this go through. Not devastating, but potentially very frustrating. Most modern VCRs, DVRs, Computers, etc. automatically adjust for daylight savings time. Unless it's synchronizing it's time signal from some broadcast, these appliances will continue to change based on the old schedule.

Don't all the appliances that do that have an ability to turn that off?

Yes, you can manually override most of the devices. But still a PITA. I read what's probably the same article GD read, and the point is that it's going to be a real headache. Not just for the end-user of appliances, but for phone companies etc. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8861692/

You know, my CAR is programmed to change as the time changes. It is so ingrained in everything we use. What a PITA!

Heh - maybe this puts us in line with the EU's daylight savings time, and your car will get it right ;)
