I always like the dark days when camping as I love sitting around the campfire with family and friends.

Now that we are finally back to where the time is supposed to be, I wish they would leave it there!

The clock said 8 this morning, and I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be 7 or 9... I have trouble remembering if it's falling forward or falling back, or light in the morning or at night since November is always dreary.
The upshot is many years ago it was declared I should never touch a clock to change the time!

I thought daylight savings time was extended a few more weeks into November. Did the change date revert back?
Much as I grumble and complain about darkness coming an hour sooner, I tend to go to the gym more which is a good thing.

I did two of mine last night.. Most of the rest did themselves. in fact I think the only ones that still need doing are dash radios.

Beginning of rant:
Leave the clocks alone!
If you have a business and you want to change hours during part of the year, put the message on your answering machine. Nobody memorizes when you're open - they call.
If you are a school and are afraid of the little darlings walking in the dark, they won't anyway. They get door to door service. If that's not the case, change the school hours from season to season. You'll never make it convenient for all the parents anyway.
If you are a federal, state or local government, nobody expects you to be there when its convenient for them. Work when you want.
If you're an elected official, work 2 hours a day in winter and 1 hour in summer. The more you're there, the more it costs me. Stay home.
End of rant.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.
