For anyone else who missed the memo, we fall back this weekend.

I got up sometime after 5am, according to the clock in the bedroom. My cell phone and the computer will adjust the time automatically, but everything else has to be manually adjusted. So I'm on the computer, and a while later I glance down at the computer clock and it says 5:06. That can't be right.

At some point I go back to the bedroom and get my cell phone and watch. Cell says 7am, watch says 8am. Ah, okay, I'll bet I know what happened. I asked my dad and he confirmed it.

So, for anyone else who missed the memo, and has clocks that must be manually adjusted, daylight savings has officially ended.

Thank you. My bedroom clock reset itself last weekend, which confused the bejeebers out of me.

by any chance, are you from Michigan?

Reset itself *last* weekend? Did I read you right?

Yep, born and raised in Michigan.

Mine did the same thing last week. I was at a loss as to why and than I remembered that we changed the day and some of the older clocks still go by the old date.
