DON'T FORGET --- THE TIME CHANGES THIS WEEKEND!


Daylight Savings times ends Oct 29, and we set our clocks back for an extra hour of sleep.

Special notes about the time change:

Since 1966, most of the United States has observed Daylight Saving Time from at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. BUT, beginning in 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November.

Also, Georgia Navigator traffic site reports:

Beginning Monday, the sun will go down 1 hour earlier, with full darkness around 6 pm. For whatever reason, this time shift significantly affects traffic patterns during the afternoon. For the next couple of weeks, motorists can expect severe congestion during the evening rush hour, and are advised to allow extra time to reach their destinations or alter travel plans.
