Sound Off: Does daylight saving time end before or after Halloween?
We return to standard time on the first Sunday in November; this year that’s Nov. 4. You will “gain” an extra hour by setting clocks back at 2 a.m. Nov. 4 (or before you go to bed). Until 2006, the time change took place on the last Sunday of October. Daylight saving time was extended, starting earlier and ending later, in 2007.

Spring back. Fall forward. Maybe. Whatever. Who cares.

I remember when we first started daylight savings time, a lady wrote a letter to the editor (not LJW) complaining we should not be messing with God's time. Not sure what time zone God's Timex watch was set on anyway! LOL LOL LOL!

"I remember when we first started daylight savings time ...:
Do you mean when the US first adopted DST on March 19, 1918? Or, when the Uniform Time Act standardized it April 12, 1966? ;-)

I wish they would pick one time or the other and just stick with it. I'd prefer daylight savings time year around, but will settle for the other if we can just leave it alone.

I second that emotion! PICK A TIME, STAY WITH IT I'll stop yelling now. But blame it on Ben Franklin or not, the American electorate (that's you) can get it eradicated.

I just hate how it's dark by 6pm during the winter.

I have to second that.
I never could understand those that prefer the light in the morning. I've seen very few people outside taking any advantage of morning light. It also has seem strange to me how so many office workers want blinds closed and all the lights on in the offices when the son is coming in the windows. I prefer sunlight any day over artificial lights.

" when the son is coming in the windows."
Geez, I bet that clears the room in a hurry . . .

You can thank Ben Franklin for DST.

Sometimes the questions for this are really good and useful. Other times, I think that the person could just use Google, or look at a calendar. This is one of those times...

When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said"Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket,sew it to the bottom,and have a longer blanket".
