Is 1 am really beginning of day?

Nothing more to say. In Europe, pretty much every country adds an hour
or remove it twice a year. It just breaks beginning_of_day and a lot of
week-computations...

Huh? No one cares?

I believe Mephisto uses the TZInfo gem to fix just that.

Ok... TZInfo does not seem to patch beginning_of_day and other Rails
Time calculations...

And that doesn't change the fact that there is a bug in rails...
