Clocks turn back an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, marking the beginning of standard time for the next few months.

This means that this weekend will be an hour longer than normal, but it will get dark an hour earlier in the evenings.

Standard time will be used through March 8, when clocks will “spring” forward an hour to begin Daylight Saving Time.

Ironically, standard time is no longer the norm. About two-thirds of the days during the year now operate on Daylight Saving Time.

Daylight Saving Time now begins on the second Sunday of March each year and ends on the first Sunday of November.

DST has roots tracing to 1918 in the United States, though not all places always observed it. Currently, it is not used in Hawaii and most of Arizona.

Sunquist has put together some really wonderful one-legged costumes in the past, yet seems to outdo himself with each passing year.

Happy Halloween! Here’s my new costume! I ain’t never had friends like these to help on this project. – You ain’t never had a friend, never had a friend. You ain’t never had a friend, never had a friend. You ain’t never. Had a. Friend. Like. Meeee!
