It means an extra hour in Key West no matter what you are doing.
It is also looking good for a special someone to be at the streetfest.

I had to fix the computers at work this morning because they opted to change early. Now, I just have to remember to fix them next week.

What Idiot decided to make it later this year?
The week AFTER Hallowe'en, for crying out loud!
Why do things have to change, boohoo, feeling curmudgeonly tonight.
(But the SENATORS won, at last, anyway!)

The dates for changing the time were moved when the Energy Policy Act of 2005 was approved, designating the first Sunday in November as the date to move clocks back one hour, and the second Sunday in March as the time to spring ahead one hour. Times are supposed to be switched at 2 a.m. to minimize the effect on daily life. IE.. the US Congress

yep, it moves the time change BACK one week in the Fall, and UP three weeks in the Spring.
I must be getting old. I look forward to this time change now.
It has been getting harder to get up and going in the morning, and this is just in time for me.

I'm blonde.
So does that mean that I move my clock back one hour when I get up Sunday morning?

Yes, blondie..
OR before you go to bed at night, so it'll be the right time when you get up.
Old saying:
Spring Forward
Fall Back
