Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am Sunday, meaning residents in most of Indiana will be “falling back” for the first time in 30 years. Some residents are happy about the return to “normal time,” while the Indianapolis Star says Hoosiers need to quit whining about DST.
More importantly, this means The Backer will be open for an hour longer than usual. It still closes at 3:00 AM, but because we “fall back” at 2:00 and thus basically repeat the 1:00-1:59 hour, 3:00 AM is four hours after midnight. :)
It will also be the last time Daylight Saving Time ends in October, in the vicinity of my birthday (which is Monday [thanks for the subtle reminder -ed.]). Starting next year, DST will go from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November, instead of from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.
Anyway, The Onion explains the significance of the end of DST. Heh.
