Illustration Sunday: Spring Forward, Fall Back

2007_11_04_IS_DS.jpg
If you found yourself an hour early for brunch today, there’s a good reason. Daylight Savings has ended, and your clocks should have been turned back one hour last night. The sun will set at 6:06 today, meaning that the trip home from the office/gym/school may well be in darkness this week.
To avoid future confusion with daylight savings, just remember this mantra—spring forward, fall back. Or is that spring back and fall forward? Dammit, who’s got the time for this shit!

    Sorry to nitpick, but it’s daylight saving time, no s.

    Kevin McBride is very good at capturing the feel of night scenes.
    Or, in this case, thanks to the return to Standard Time, early evening scenes. Bah!
