Remember to fall back

Here in the US twice a year we reset our clocks, in the spring one hour ahead to "better utilize the available daylight hours", in the very late fall back to standard time. A silly exercise, especially here in Alaska with 24 hours of daylight during the summer, -but none the less…

And… since I didn't follow the law (The Energy Policy Act of 2005) and set my clocks back last night I awoke at six a.m. and found it to really be 5 a.m!

Actually the sketch above is based on a true happening; Some years back a local bar owner on closing for the night told his mucker (guy that cleans up after closing): "Joe, remember to move the clock back tonight, because of the daylight savings time change." He meant, of course, for Joe to move/set the clock back one hour.

Well the next morning when he came in he found that Joe had done just like he'd told him to, he'd taken the clock down and put it back up, moving it five feet back down the bar! No, he hadn't changed the time.
