A whole extra hour of rmb..yea

Not until next week, although my computer clock doesn't seem to know
that.
It looks like someone changed the rules.

Are you sure?

Turn clocks back on Sunday
Turn clocks back on Sunday. You're getting back an hour that you lost
the first Sunday in April last spring when daylight-saving time went
into effect. ...

In America, yes, we're sure. Starting second Sunday in March 2007, the
move
one hour forward date was moved earlier from the first Sunday in April;
likewise one week later (now first Sunday in November) to move one hour
back. It wreaks havoc on digital programmable thermostats and other
devices
that cannot receive a software patch that have the old dates. Also forces
the little ones to wait an hour to go seek candy on 31st October.

Come back next week.

In this area, the trick-or-treaters traditionally start going out around 6
PM. If they hold to that this year, it will still be dusk at that time.

People have been accusing me of trying to turn the clock back for
years...nyuck nyuck....but seriously folks, I think it's great that
Daylight Savings time was extended at both ends. We should be on
Daylight Savings time all year long. I always thought it was stupid
to turn the clocks back just before Halloween when kids are traipsing
on dark roads, and possibly getting hit by cars.
