I'm very glad
that the clocks fall back on Sunday - this rising of the sun AFTER 7:30 has to go. It reminds me very much of the year I was in school (Jr. high I think) when they didn't switch it at all, and we ended up walking to school in the dark. Why on earth is it so late this year that we go back to standard time?

Where ya been Wil? Since 2007 DST has ended the first Sunday in November...
For the last three years? Wow. I've been out of it, I suppose. I still strongly dislike it.
Could have been worse - my DIL grew up in Alaska, where the sun made a feeble appearance on the horizon around noon then retreated! She gave me a book called "Recess at 20 Below", to show me what it was like.
The change is due to a law passed by our US Congress to help save energy!
When it passed, I called it the Computer Programmers' Full Employment Act.
Good one, Dan!
My computer's clock operated on the old schedule the first season; it evidently had an upgrade by the next one.
I have to take those things on faith...sometimes misplaced.
E.g., I've learned that nothing is bad enough to use ATT "support" [that will only make it worse.] :(

At least it's a national thing now. I remember as a kid, in Minneapolis/St Paul, can't remember which was which but one went on DST and the other didn't, so many who worked in one but lived in the other took to having two clocks!
