A special daylight savings

This weekend will end the longest daylight saving period ever. » Why it is different

The first week in November marks the end of a long, twisting road. Oh, right, and the elections are next week, too.

The longest Daylight Saving period in American history ends Sunday, Nov. 1, when all states except for Hawaii, most of Arizona, and parts of Indiana will dial back the clock one hour. In optimistic lingo, that´s an "extra hour" to sleep, fill out that absentee ballot, and enjoy other lazy Sunday activities.

That should end impatient searches demanding to know "when is daylight savings" (+654%) and "when does daylight savings time end" (+358%). Oregonians have been particularly insistent about seeking out that the extra hour online—perhaps prompted by older electronic devices which prematurely set clocks back last weekend.

It was last weekend....

 Actually, here in the US it is this coming weekend....I wish they would stop doing this, though!  It really drives me crazy when it gets dark at 5pm!!!!!

 grrr was not impressed that i had to work a thirteen hour shift grr

 As a founder member of the SS, I would have thought you would gladly spend an extra hour rubbing men´s thighs....

 there is only so much thigh action a girl can take

and for the record that was her this time!!

 Speak for yourself!

Thanks Yilgun...I didn´t even realize this.  I´m looking forward to catching an extra hour of sleep, well needed.

That extra hour doesn´t last for long unfortunatelly...

I used to enjoy it for a week  

5pm - think yourself lucky........

It is 4-10pm here and it has been dark for over half an hour

Come on! I´m just one island further west than you are and it´s not dark here yet. It is greyish but not dark Why don´t you clean your windows or undo the blinds?

 It is totally dark here and has been for ages.......the only reason I can see anything outside my office window is because there are outside lights down the side of the building and across on the church opposite.
