I know most if not all Americans set their clocks back one hour last night. I like the “Fall Back” much better than the “Spring Forward” mainly because of the extra hour thrown into the day! The day before, I always think I’m going to do something special with that extra hour but invariably I don’t ... it’s usually just a typical Sunday albeit at a somewhat slower pace than usual. I may get an extra walk in by the end of the day. Possibly.

Did you actually use your extra hour for a specific thing or did it blissfully blend in with the rest of the day?

One thing in particular that I like about moving the clock back in the Fall is that tomorrow’s early morning drive to work will be in partial daylight and with less of a chance of hitting a deer. They’re very active this time of year and will bolt in front of a car from the thick woods with no warning. For the last few weeks, it's been pitch black during most of the drive ... daylight driving is soooo much better!!

Ours happened last week :-6

I hate the damn changing of the clocks twice a year! I wish they would pick one standard and keep it all year round!

Yes you're right, the drive in the morning in daylight is great. However, the drive home with the darkness of night coming an hour earlier sort of makes it a wash.

It did and I made good use of the extra hour drinking and dancing on my first proper night out in over a year :wah:

I cleaned the computer room with that hour. Just started tossing stuff out.

I spent it correcting computer problems that popped up all of the sudden. I think they were due to the time change.

I tend to never remember that hour---hic

everyone was supposed to check your smoke alarm batteries on that day.

did you?

It is not really and extra hour, it's one you borrowed from last clock change, so look after it, they will be taking it back.
