Don't forget to "Fall Back" this weekend!

Spring Forward: DST begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March (at 2 a.m. the local time time skips ahead to 3 a.m. so there is one less hour in the day)

Fall Back: DST ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November (at 2 a.m. the local time becomes 1 a.m. and that hour is repeated, so there is an extra hour in the day)

@AtascocitaDotCom : That's right!! Daylight saving time ends this weekend. I wish we would just do away with it completely. At least we get an extra hour of sleep Saturday night. It's a good time to remember to change the batteries on your smoke detector.

@AtascocitaDotCom : I don't know why but when I first read this I thought it said, "Don't forget to free ball this weekend".

Back in my younger days, we loved it when DST ended bc we got an extra hour to drink.

@Luckysis : You're so right. Used to get an extra hour to party, now I get an extra hour to sleep. Funny how things changeâ€¦.

The two things I dread most about early November: Premature Christmas decorators and people complaining about the time change.

Doesn't make much of a difference to me in these latitudes. We are 8 hours of daylight and in 2 weeks we will be at 7... by Dec 21 we will be at around 5 hours. Damn!

@Smokeybear : Right! I used to remember being at the bars when the clocks rolled back and we had that extra hour to party. Now I'm just thankful I have an extra hour to sleep! My how our priorities change.
