My birthday falls on a Saturday this year, THIS Saturday in fact (10/28)... Its great to have your birthday on a Saturday. That happens once every seven years or so.
Well, I'm not writing this to self promote my birthday (wink) ...this is also a public service reminder about daylight savings kicking in this weekend. I'm fortunate enough to have my birthday on a Saturday, and also fortunate as this Saturday will be an hour longer allowing more time for Saturday night festivities (for everyone, not just me).
A recent A.P. story describes why the culmination of these rare events will never happen again, sadly.
Most Americans can get a chance at an extra hour of sleep this weekend; clocks fall back to standard time. It's the last time this will happen in October.
Because of a law passed last year, daylight-saving time will start earlier and end later beginning in 2007. It will last from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
The official change occurs at two a.m. Sunday, though most make the change to their clocks before going to bed Saturday night.
Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas do not observe daylight-saving time.

yay for arizona!! i told them to not do that and they listened to me, haha!! it just confuses everyone twice a year and makes everyone worried whether they are changing their clocks the right way and on the right day or not. it's easier to just not do it!! hah! just thought i'd say that. thanks, dan. from karen in az!! (i hated changing the clock in chicago)
