A reminder to set the clocks back.
As pilots we can just ignore the whole thing and stay with UTC time.

After all these years of daylight savings, you would thing there would be enough banked that we could do a little daylight spending during the winter when we really need it.

Yes that's one reason. They also need to proof read prior to posting.

Well, what's really stoopid is that they moved it to after Halloween so that the kids would have more light in the evening.
What american kid want more light on Halloween night!?!?
We sure didn't when I was a kid. It's hard to T.P. and egg in the daylight!
Sacrilege.

Thanks for taking my droll humor for what it was. I'd prefer he clocks left as DST, but other people don't.

Oh right, we are still on DST here in the forgotten part of the world. Everybody has been back on "winter time" for a while now. We are pretty late to the funeral. 
I will be sure to set the clocks right tonight, thanks for the reminder!

F*** I refuse to play with this time change crap. I have instituted Winter hours in our organization that will recognize that permanent DST is the only way to go.

Oh is that the latest new stupid reason given?
All this dicking with clocks is now "for the children"?
ROFLMAO. Pure bureaucratic awesome sauce right there. Pass the salt.

It's totally idiotic, in my opinion. Even more idiotic was the outcry from the education establishment when Nixon made it year-round for a while. They were outraged that the kids would have to walk to school in the dark. The idea of opening the schools an hour later never apparently never occurred to them.
