Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday

By Christine Anne Piesyk | November 3, 2007 |

Just a reminder to all our readers: It’s time to turn those clocks back an hour. Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 a.m.

The semi-annual Autumn time change (spring forward, fall back) was moved back a week, leaving more daylight for trick-or-treaters and the rest of us with a bit more light at the end of the end for one extra week. We in the United States started daylight Saving Time two weeks, back in March.

But that’s about to end. With the shift back to Standard time, it will be darker earlier, and that in combination with the onset of the winter season makes for short dark days. While most computers will self-adjust for the time change, clocks, microwaves and just about anything that registers real time with have to be adjusted manually, and that is something you can do when you awake refreshed from your extra hour of sleep tonight.

About Christine Anne Piesyk

With 40 years behind me (Huh? What? How did that happen?) as a journalist, feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, and film/theater/arts critic, I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago. having completed a midlife undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts. I am currently an MFA student at Goddard College. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and an issue-specific commission for the City of Northampton, MA, and did minor undergraduate work in studies in urban planning and community development. I am a community volunteer and a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, classical music junkie; I also and design and make sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I have an unquenchable interest in just about everything. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure, with the best things still to come.
