 | Pacific Standard Time came back at 2 a.m. this morning, ending more than six months of daylight saving time that found most of us leaving for work and school in the dark in the last few weeks.
Tomorrow should find a bit of daylight at 6 a.m. when Monday truly gets under way.
Firefighters remind us that when we change our clocks in the spring and the fall, it's a good time to change the batteries in our smoke alarms as well.

Posted by Why?, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Nov 6, 2011 at 7:18 am Why do we have to keep changing back the clocks? Didn't that start in the old days and shouldn't we do without now? This is kind of annoying, to be switching back and forth.

Generally, the farm community hates daylight savings time. I know, I was one for years.
However, now that I am a city slicker, I love daylight savings time. That extra hour of daylight in the evening is great for BBQing, working in the yard, doing home projects, playing golf, playing with the kids, sports, etc. I wish we had DST year round.
