Daylight Savings Time ends NEXT Sunday [View all]

Wow was I surprised when I got up this morning! I turned my clocks back last night before I went to bed. It has always been the last Sunday of October since as long as I can remember.

But I didn't get the memo that it's not today, it's next Sunday. Now I'm going around and changing my clocks back to DST for one more week.
