[BC] DST vs Daytimers

[Gary]

The solution to the problem lies in devising a plan, focus on the plan,
execute the plan. Believe that nothing except success is an option.

I had a great run in ownership of a daytimer. We made the payments every
month, no matter what we were dealt...and that included the last DST change.
We never flinched. Failure was not an option.

You can bellyache...or rise above it.  If you are not part of the
solution.....well you know.
