Fall Back-DST May Require Manual Setbacks

Since DST has been extended, you'll want to double-check all of your electronic devices and confirm that the time is correct. Although your your computer and maybe even your digital clock in your car may automatically update, the recent change of dates for Daylight Saving Time may require that these devices be manually changed, as they now may NOT be ready to update to the correct time on the correct date! I found this out this morning with my "older" blackberry. My alarm went off on it 1 hour late, as it adjusted itself over the weekend to the old DST cutover.

The extra month that we enjoyed was actually the result of the Energy Policy Act, which was enacted by Congress back in 2005 and first went into effect last year. So keep an eye on your electronic devices and remember to change your clocks on Sunday, November 2nd as we turn back the hands of time once again! (If we could only do that in The Housing Market!)
