1. Nope...
It'll be damn dark when I leave work. I have to make a left turn onto a two-lane street with shitloads of traffic. Bad area for accidents.

6. Not really, I have to be at the bus station at 9:00 am Monday
and I wonder:


  1. Is my schedule impacted? I got the ticket in a 5'x5' box where the "agent" had no computer, wrote the ticket by hand, and had to be paid in cash.
  2. Will I screw up and go outside to await my ride at the wrong time?
  3. Will my ride show up at the right time?


Actually, I just like to worry about insignificant things, to be honest :)

11. Sort of
I'm not looking forward to it getting dark at 6 p.m., but I always drag ass in October, because I stay up late and don't get enough sleep. I think it's the clock's fault.

14. To hear you turkeys talk
you would think the sun actually rises and set at a different time.
Hog wallow. No, it don't. The sun is not affected. You are.

You will be setting your clocks back to the correct time. You have been getting up an hour earlier. For the next six months you can now get up on time.
It takes a week or sometimes more to reset your internal clock. The body doesn't really like that. It gets worse as one gets older.

I don't bother to reset any of my clocks. Central Standard Time all year long. Even my computer clocks stays on Standard time all year long.

Night Darkness Losing Time sucks.

The only good thing is that lunch comes an hour earlier.
