    Just a reminder: for those in the USA who have daylight savings time, tonight, Saturday, Oct. 31 is when we need to turn out clocks back. Fun way to spend a Saturday night . . . .

    And I get to hear Randy complain about loosing an hour of sleep for the next week......never mind that he actually gains an hour tonight, he just hates the DST changes. I do too, but I get over it quicker than he does.:rolleyes:
    Fun way to spend a Saturday night....I can think of a couple of others way more fun than changing the clocks. :) But most of our clocks have atomic innards so they change themselves.....and we always forget the one in the truck until sometime about a week later.

    We changed our clocks back last week-end. I really dislike the shorter days and am already wishing for the clocks to change again.

    I've been turning clocks back all week. I may have too many clocks

    I am happy that it will be lighter in the mornings, but I oh so hate the fact it will be dark by 5:30pm! I usually takes me a good week to get back to normal after a time change ... the animals too! I will have to modify feeding times for a week or so.

    I am a morning person but this time change throws your body off...I love to look out the windows and watch the birds and the cardinals like to come just as it is getting dark. I am already waiting for spring...;)
