In about 10 minutes Daylight Savings Time will be over and we are to set our clocks back 1 hour, that is unless you are from Saskatchewan, which does not observe DST. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep, because I know I sure will! Its already November and we still have not really had any cold weather yet but with the shift in time and cold weather around the corner, driving conditions will rapidly get worse as we move further into November. Drive safe.

This time of year is also a time when local fire departments remind everyone to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Take a couple minutes and check to ensure your smoke detector is working, even if you have one that is hardwired and does not require batteries.

Mark your 2009 calendars, we start this fun time shifting game again on March 9, 2009 when we “spring ahead” again.
