Blah. I could careless. I hate the sun setting so early, and I'm not up in the mornings anyway, so the later rises don't bother me. I'll be up at 2am when it changes, so I won't be gaining anything. I'll probably just end up waking up earlier. :roll:

Oh yeah, back to Standard time.

Even after this Saturday's Halloween Party, I'll still be able to get enough sleep on a Sunday before church.

In some states the clocks dont move all year long such as Arizona and Indiana.I mentioned those two states but there may be another one that I forgot.Also here In Puerto Rico we dont change our clocks so I will be one hour behind from Eastern Standard time.

I doubled checked and you are right about Indiana changing the clocks since April 2006.

Portions of the Canadian province of British Columbia and most of Saskatchewan also do NOT observe Daylight Saving Time.
Canada uses six primary time zones. From east to west they are Newfoundland Time Zone, Atlantic Time Zone, Eastern Time, Central Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone, and the Pacific Time Zone.

Mysteries of Time and Sleep

Interesting to read about time and how it affects sleeping.

Remember to change the batteries when you change the clocks back. Also a good time to change the batteries on your fire alarms.

You'll have to change the time zone in your profile for it to show up on the board. GMT -5 for Eastern, -6 for Central, -7 for Mountain, -8 Pacific.

Nope. As a military servicemember, I get paid by the month. Regardless of how many days (or hours) are in that month.
