Check out the graphical control panel.  There is an option there for 
"Auto Daylight Savings".  I bet yours is checked.  There is another neat 
feature in the graphical time control panel.  If you press one of the 
modifier keys (Option, I think) the display switches from "days left in 
the year" to "days until Christmas".  I guess you could call that a 
Christmas egg.:)

BTW, on a related note, does anybody know how to figure out when the 
spring time change happens?  If the computer can figure it out, there 
must be some kind of algorithm.  I know how to figure out when Easter is 
(first sunday after the first full moon after the solstice), but how do I 
predict the time change (either spring or fall)?
