They're only borrowing it for a few months; you'll get it back in
the spring.

For what purpose? Isn't it, by now, counterproductive?

yeah, but I'm up as usual to my own "clock". And I forgot to mention.
Some clocks don't like to be pushed backwards. esp. electric ones , ones
with motors and gears. better to unplug and wait and hour or so.
change the calendar to November too.

time. The hour gets "borrowed" in the spring, when we go from standard time
to daylight savings time.

Umm, how, exactly, are they "stealing an hour"? Time just happens, it's all
about how it's measured. "Time" CANNOT be stolen.

Ho ho - that is relative! There was a time that the King decreed a time
change that "cheated" the workers of about 2 weeks of pay and they were
pissed! Maybe someone remembers the story.

I doubt that anyone "remembers" the change, since it occurred in 1752. 11
days were dropped when England (and English America) changed from the Julian
calendar (adopted by Julius Caesar in 45 BC) to the Gregorian (developed by
Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 AD). That month, people earned 11 days less pay,
but landlords tried to collect rents for a full month. People were
understandably not happy.

In any case, they give it back in the Spring.
