Daylight Savings Time

[Don M.]

We will need to reset our clocks this coming Sunday....November 1st. I also like to use DST change to do a couple of other "semi-annual" tasks. I check the batteries in all of our smoke detectors and give my computer a good cleaning.

I did the computer cleaning today...powered it off, opened the case and gave the internals a good cleaning with canned air and the vacuum cleaner. The case has good ventilation, and uses large 120MM fans, so it does pick up a fair amount of lint and dust over a 6 month period.

We did that in Europe today so we are closer,timewise,for a week

It just feels overdue to me, like we should have already changed our clocks by now.

Thanks for the reminder!

One of my smoke detectors started chirping this morning!

Off to the $tore tomorrow for fresh batteries.

We set our clocks back last night/this morning at 2am.. so it's now dark at 5pm

Yup, Nov 1st for us too and I CAN'T WAIT.

but it will be lighter in the morning

It's an unofficial holiday at my house. We don't care for daylight savings time, but then again we're up quite early.

Anyone know the current reason that we still change back to standard time for four months?

I wish they would just pick one of the times and leave it there. I'd prefer they pick daylight savings, as I prefer the extra daylight in the afternoon/evening rather than the morning. I hate when it's already dark by 5:00.

In Arizona only the Navajos do the clock changing routine.

well that would be great if I was still going to work.. however I'm not..and hubs leaves for work at 6am, and the sun won't rise until 6.45 am.. and he's not home until after 8pm, so he won't see daylight at all..

Fall back 30 minutes ...
THEN LEAVE IT ALONE

You should think about cleaning the hard drive too of unused file. I accumulate about a gig per month from updates etc.
