Fall Back: Last Time in October

SPRING FORWARD... FALL BACK!

You know the drill. This Sunday morning at 2 a.m., you need to drag yourself up out of bed and roll back your clocks by an hour (or you could just do it the night before).

But this year, something's different. This will be the last October "Fall Back" in U.S. history. Last year, Congress decided (believing that significant energy savings are in store) that Daylight Savings Time (WikiPedia) would last from mid-March to early November, instead of early April to late October. WikiPedia has more information on that change, the history of DST, who observes it, what it's for and what the critics say about it. So roll' em back now; we'll see you a few weeks early next year.
