Daylight Savings time ends

Holy shit, y’all, it’s daylight savings standard time time again! Before you go to bed on Saturday don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour, or you’ll show up for your Sunday morning bloody mary an hour on the wrong side. (I can’t ever remember which way daylight savings goes, so I invariably turn my clock the wrong direction.)

That also means that all of you who really like daylight can put on your complaining shoes, because it’s the time of year when night falls before you leave the office. The P I would like to remind you not to run over any trick or treaters on Wednesday Tuesday because of the dark [P-I]. If you see kids falling in line with Capitol Hill Seattle’s wacky new Halloween on Saturday idea, you should still avoid running them over, even though it might still be a little light outside.

    I’ve seen a peppering of incorrect reports on the time. We are going back to Standard Time. Daylight Savings Time is over. Daylight Savings begins again in Spring 2007 and will last until November 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_Savings_Time

    If the Trick or Treaters are out on Wednesday, they aren’t going to get a lot of candy… Now Tuesday maybe.

    Er…that’s a very good point. I keep doing that–I’ve convinced myself for some reason that Halloween is on Wednesday this year.

    The kids are with us on this Saturday Halloween idea. I’ve talke to them. They’re in. Better have your candy ready.

    You know, I always buy candy just in case, but in the three Halloweens that I’ve lived in Eastlake I’ve never once seen a trick or treater. Clearly, the few kids that live in my neighborhood are going up to yours. I can’t say that I blame them.

    Remembering PDT vs. PST: Spring forward, Fall back.
