Reminder to move your clocks back one hour at 2am on October 27th (or before
you turn in on Saturday night)
This is important to message because it could affect the time you show up to
Johnson Farm on Sunday....
Below is some good info/trivia regarding daylight saving time from
http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
<http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html>
Spelling & grammar
The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.
Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time
and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the
activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar
examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a
verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.
Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more
mellifluously off the tongue, and Daylight Savings Time is also in common
usage, and can be found in dictionaries.
Part of the confusion is because the phrase Daylight Saving Time is
inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time
would be better, but it is not as politically desirable. In fact,
scientifically misguided politicians sometimes misunderstand. In 1995, the
British Time (Extra Daylight) Bill was introduced by John Butterfill,
attempting the impossible -- to legislate extra daylight. The bill did not
pass.
When in the morning?
In the U.S., clocks change at 2 am local time. In Spring, clocks spring
forward from 1:59 am to 3 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am to 1
am. In the EU, clocks change at 1 am Universal Time. In Spring, clocks
spring forward from 12:59 am to 2 am; in Fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 am
to 1 am.
Nationwide, U.S. restaurants and bars have varied closing policies. In many
states, liquor cannot be served after 2 a.m. But at 2 a.m. in the Fall, the
time switches back one hour. So, can they serve for that additional hour in
October? The official answer is that the bars do not close at 2 a.m. but
actually at 1:59 a.m. So, they are already closed when the time changes from
Daylight Saving Time into Standard Time. In practice however, many
establishments stay open an extra hour in the Fall.
In the U.S., the changeover time was arbitrarily chosen to be 2 am, when
most people are at home. This is practical and minimizes disruption. It is
late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and prevent the day
from switching to yesterday (which would be confusing). It is early enough
that the entire continental U.S. has switched by daybreak, and the
changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers
(particularly on Easter).
Some U.S. areas
Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in
Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the
Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona
(not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe). Navajo Nation
participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and
location in three states.
A safety reminder
Many fire departments encourage people to change the battery in the smoke
detector when they change their clocks, because it can be so easy to forget
otherwise. "A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of
surviving a home fire," says William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in
Michigan. More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke
detectors, but one-third are estimated to have worn-out or missing
batteries.
