It's one of those perspective things dave, when you see it from one
angle, it looks like time shifts one hour ahead... from another 1 hour
back.  If you are ona summer perspective the time shifts so you have 1
less hour in the winter afternoon.....  See the perspective.  CA and
the year round DST, just basically means they wanted to change time
zones.  That's fine.

I think what DST may really mean is that people get up too early :) 
or not early enough...  depends on your perspective...

Enough on DST, let's get back to SHO's.  

I left my ipod on in the red car again...  battery was dead this
morning so I couldn't listen to my audiobooks.  any interactive way to
get it to stop playing when I turn off the car?  That way 1) I don't
loose my place, and 2, I don't drain the iPod battery.  The plan is to
add an additional accessory socket so I can charge the ipod and run an
FM modulator simultaneously.  Maybe one more for my phone.

Oh, and no my lights were not on.
