the buzz log
Sunday is usually a day of rest, not a day of panic. But panic is exactly what happened this past weekend when unsuspecting folks discovered they didn't know what time it was.
The decision to extend daylight saving time an extra week caused the confusion. Apparently, not everyone got the new schedule. Many people who expected to "fall back" on Sunday morning discovered they'd jumped the gun and were an hour off.
Chaos reigned as the Search box was overrun with frantic questions about daylight saving time. Is it over? (Answer—no.) When does it end? (Next week.) And, most importantly, what time is it right now? (Well, Timmy, that depends.)
For now, it appears the confusion has subsided. Folks are going about their business blissfully unaware that this coming Sunday their worlds will once again be turned upside down by a (real) time change. Heed our warning! The end of daylight saving time is nigh!
