I'm lucky. I never have to change my clocks. I just hate the 3 hour difference from the east coast!

It usually does not fail that someone this time of year sets the clock an hour back, and winds up showing up at our church an hour after everyone has left. 
(No, we never did that)

That's like not winding your clock or watch once it's stopped - you know that at least twice a day it'll show the right time.

Why? Don't you get 20 hours of daylight anyway?
But seriously, not even every place in the US switches. I'm not surprised that Canada switches also, but I would've guessed no.

Well, we're not changing our clocks just now. We've never changed our clocks in any of the cities I've lived in in Indiana. However, the House Committee just passed the bill to change it, which means it goes to the Full House (not to be mistaken with Danny, DJ, et al) where it is thought it will pass and that will be that. June 5, I think it is, we will spring ahead, and will fall back whenever y'all springers and faller-backers do that sort of thing too.
I don't care one way or the other, not really, but you know, every year or two or whatever they talk about participating in DST and there's a big ruckus. It will be nice to just do it and get it over with already.

Yeah, on Monday when I work 13 hours it will still be light out when I leave. Course I'll still be dead tired and unable to do anything.

Hawaii, Arizona, and parts of Indiana do not switch.
This is a pet peeve of mine. Why do we do this?
From what I understand, this was a cost savings effort, started by the Germans, during WWI. So there would be more normal daylight for the factory workers.
