“To wake the sleepers high and low,
And rouse them to the urgent hour!”
Daylight Saving Time ends tonight, so if you are affected by the time change, turn your clocks back one hour. By way of encouragement, I pass on this news:
Pedestrians walking during the evening rush hour are nearly three times more likely to be struck and killed by cars than before the time change, two scientists calculate. Ending daylight saving time translates into about 37 more U.S. pedestrian deaths around 6 p.m. in November compared to October, the researchers report.
Have a good weekend.
Oof. I hope people stay safe. I personally thought it would be better to switch it this weekend rather than the last, since under the old system, it got dark an hour earlier in the evening just in time for trick-or-treating.
