Daylight savings time ends Nov. 2 in case anyone was wondering. i was so i looked it up. i told my son that once the switch happens he'll have to walk the dog when he gets home from school at 5pm as it will be dark by his usual 6:30pm walking time.

oh, I though something bad when I read the subject...... glad it wasn't what I though it was.

they changed it last year

used to be before halloween, now after

of course, i think its backwards, we should add an hour now and lose it in the spring

that way the sun would go down about the same time all year...

I am so sick of DST. Waking up in the dark is much worse than having the dark part of the evening start sooner. Nor do I ever really adjust to the time change. Can't wait for this crap to be over.

I don't understand why we do it at all anymore: the original rationale hardly applies now, and doesn't apply at all once you get past harvest time.

I'm having trouble waking up in the morning because it's so dark. Then I have to go running around to stay on schedule and I hate that.

They should just pick a time, preferably standard time, and stick to it.

Is it true that AZ has stopped this madness?

Do what I do, set the alarm for Noontime.

Possibly...wouldn't surprise me. The large portion of Indiana didn't observe daylight savings up until 2005 I think when some legislation was passed ('snuck in') that made the entire state start observing. I think I have that correct.

I know when from '96 and until I was there in 2000 it wasn't observed.

In Europe we have another week. Clocks change on the last Sunday in October.
