Just a reminder to people that Day Light Savings Time ends next weekend. When you go to bed on Saturday October 3rd, don't forget to put your clocks back 1 hour.

They're (the Powers the be in North America) are doing it differently this year for some reason! It started a week early (springtime) and is ending a week late... I have no idea what that accomplishes other than US & Canada etc being a week late and just trying to be different I guess!!
Wierd.....

That was tried here, years ago. Nobody liked it so it was abandoned.

What I'm going to do is wake up in the morning, get on my computer and check to see when it changes. Heck it was only a couple of weeks ago that we changed to day light savings' time. Darn it, retirement accelerates time dramatically. Sort of wished my birthday was 29 February, then I'd be just a teenager. Plutom

the american congress extended it, saying it would be an energy conservation measure, and that was their only action on energy policy that year. given that the price of oil will reach $100, I daresay it underlines the fact that "daylight savings time" causes an increase in petrol consumption (more daylight to drive around in their SUVs after work).

Miss Nancy weren't they the ones that decided to hold up all military pay for one day back in September 1986. Saved the government, millions of dollars for fiscal year 86--Plutom
Someone probably got a healthy government check for suggesting that too.

Oopsy! lol
I seemed to have had a twilight zone moment! November 4th. So set your clocks back 1 hour on November 3rd before you go to bed :)

In France it's this night we have to set our clocks back one hour. So there is a domain where french people could be the first lol (of course refering to the ruby championship...)

If they didn't put it forward in Spring then they wouldn't have to put it back in the Autumn.
My brain hurts!!
