I'm glad he did that, because of the time changes worldwide. Europe's is this weekend, North America two weeks ago, and Australia next weekend...how can anyone keep up with that? _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

Fortunately I limited the number of clocks in my house - otherwise it would take hours to set them all correct (as almost every clock has a different guideline...) _________________________ I dreamt of spending a day riding a stallion.

France changes its clocks tonight so someone made a big mistake. The poor children will have to remain in France until tomorrow afternoon, missing Mothers Day which is tomorrow. Total chaos.
