It's that time of year again -- when we gain an extra hour! 

Daylight Saving Time  is quickly coming to an end for 2013.

Since 2007, Daylight Saving Time, or DST for short, begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

For 2013, that means it is time to 'fall back' this weekend.

Nov. 3 is the first Sunday in November this year, so at 2 a.m. you will turn your clocks back one hour, marking the return to Pacific Standard Time.

As the old expression goes, "spring ahead, fall back," meaning before bed on Saturday night, set your clock BACK one hour.  You'll also be 'gaining' one hour of time (the same hour you 'lost' last Spring).  

The International Association of Fire Chiefs and the Energizer battery company are also urging you to adopt the life-saving habit of changing the battery in your smoke detector when you change your clock.  This simple and easy action will double a family's chance of surviving a home fire.

You will 'spring ahead,' or turn your clocks forward one hour next year on March 9, 2014.

I like it when halloween happens in/on when Daylight Savings
time is still in effect. A recent trend as standard time usually
went the weekend before halloween. Trickortreaters were
out in force at 5pm which is a bit early to be answering the
door every 10 minutes. With the world as scary as it is today,
I want to do the "nobody home" act halloween PM. Nobody
knocks on my door...nobody gets hurt. No porch light on,
blinds drawn means do not come here...besides I dont
hand out candy...I give out pencils.

Mild weather relatively, means the hungry hordes will swarm here. I don't mind. As an evening handing out junk to beggars is an evening not spent as part of an 11 hrs + workday in a 4 axle total body torture chamber. I will be giving out little bags of nachos and rice chips to the creative costumes and the usual sugar addict hits to the rest.

I live on a dark cul-de-sac off the main trickortreat
route. 22 years ago most the trickortreators were
family...mostly nephews/nieces going around the hood
in their first halloween costumes as pre-schoolers.
We used to get maybe a dozen knocks at the door
and most were employee friends of Mrs Krink hauling
their kids 15 miles to visit for a few minutes. I dont
remember my trickortreat days hopping out of a SUV
with a mom driving me everywhere to candyland. I was
was big for my age always and age 12 was the last year
I was able carry out the tradition of having a huge paper
sack or a pillow-case and hitting as many places as I
could. Oh yeah! I got some candy alright. Candy was
my drug at 12.

 Snippy has modded out 4 axles that have shitty seats but plenty of room in them.

 

How sad no that TW5k punishes the innocent cherubs in creative costumes. no

Ralph thinks you  do this to make them take off their costumes to get free candy. disbelief

 Have they got any of them there U-tubes?

 Here's the tune that "called out" to me as I rolled into a parking space and they started talkiin about the album release and the reasons for the specific date of it on Day of The Dead celebrations. They cranked it out live from their sound check and I really digged it, man. It was groovy. Not sure WTF he's talkin about, but it's certainly something a little painful and tu me it was as they say, haunting. Sat there for for a good 15 minutes, grateful for Subaru's use of 80 watt Panasonic amp/receivers back in the day.

I usually reset the clocks after I awake Sunday morning.
The time change mostly screws-up my dinner-time
which was about 1900hrs. I bet if you ask anyone on the street
whether "Daylight Time" should go on year round I bet
you would have many "yeses".Think the "time-masters"
got it wrong when time zones got established. They were
an hour off. Maybe some year we can observe DST all
year and see if it makes a difference.

Well y'all missed the point yesterday. Might as well move on up set the clock back and enjoy that extra hour today. Nov. 2 . Mexican Day Of The Dead. That's what I'm talkin about. A Winnipeg band on the radio was talking about this yesterday. Mariachi Ghost. They had an album release scheduled and a gig in the hometown. I for one am enjoying the 60 minutes more leisure time, having migrated from a zone where the clocks don't change, the circadian rhythm disruption oph shavin that hour in spring nearly kilt me. Well Mexican day of the dead is done celebrated and gone and life goes on, eh. Needed that little more recharge time, savin it up for snow shovelling. No coal locomotives here no more. Gotta stay in shape.
