Spring forward, Fall Back --> Starts tomorrow.

Daylight Saving Time in the US begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. In 2009, it therefore began on Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m. and ends on Sunday, November 1 at 2 a.m.

Though the sun dial is always on DST ;-), I am happy that humans thought about this concept, so we can use an hour effectively

There are lot of sundial's around the world Big B. I guess this is one such..

In Belgium, you have sun dial park There is one dial - where your shadow will tell the correct time too. amazing illai?

It is really amazing...Nandhu.
I think our ancestors too did the same, before the invention of clocks.
Seeing the shadow and get the time..
But I also use to wonder, how come they can do it on rainy days...there must be some other method to calculate too..isn't it!
