Remember to change your clocks tonight: 2AM Sunday Morning, November 3rd

Just a reminder - before you go to bed tonight, set your clocks back.. As you sleep tonight, on Sunday morning, November 3rd at 2am, Daylight Savings Time will end and most states in the US will revert back to Standard Time so be sure to set all clocks, watches and other time pieces BACK 1 HOUR. 

Most computers, cell phones and cable boxes will make this change automatically without our help..

This is always a great time to change the batteries in our smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

We will then move them ahead to begin Daylight Savings Time when we put the clocks ahead "1 hour" at 2am on the 2nd Sunday in March, March 9th, 2014  

Several states, including Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time so they do not change their clocks at anytime during the year.

And remember our new computer class series begins this week so we've saved your seat - if you need to make a change or haven't registered yet, not a problem, see Linda Roach in the SA Management Office and she can help you with that....

So enjoy your extra hour of sleep this weekend thanks to the annual shift back to standard time.

For those of you who wonder how DST began, here are some tidbits about its origins and pros and cons of these time-changing events. According to lots of sources on the Internet, several events led to our modern-day DST:

Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers, suggested something akin to daylight saving time in a 1784 essay

During World War I in an effort to conserve fuel needed to produce electric power, Germany and Austria began saving daylight by advancing the hands of the clock one hour from April through October

A postal clerk from New Zealand was the first to propose modern DST

Congress first put America's clocks ahead one hour during World War I and (later for WWII)

Congress enacted the Uniform Time Act of 1966 to eliminate confusion about DST across the country-thanks to this act, DST in the United States now begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November
