Daylight savings time

You did remember to set your clocks back, right? I didn't, but I knew about the change.

Good part of fall daylight saving time: get to sleep an extra hour.
Bad part: It's 6pm and it's full dark now. :grumble grumble:

This is the part of fall I don't like. Waking up in the dark, getting to work in the daylight but by the time I leave work it's full dark again.

The funny part about the spring daylight savings time change is that it happens on different weekends in the US and Germany. In Germany it's always the last weekend in March, in the US it's the first weekend in April. So for a week there is a seven hour difference between my parents and me. In the fall it's the same weekend.

Well that's odd.
