So what’s wrong this time?
Well, for one thing, all these clocks are backwards.
I’m not a fan of Daylight Saving Time “spring forward and fall back.” Our bodies cue on light levels, just like everything else in nature, so our brains won’t jog an hour just because we change the clocks. Ask your dog what he thinks about Fall Back. It takes us humans as much as a week to adjust.
However, unless you live in Arizona(*) or Hawaii where they don’t participate in Daylight Saving Time, tonight’s the night to turn the clocks backward to Standard Time.
The official moment to make the change is at 2:00am on 1 November 2020 — which at that moment becomes 1:00am. Who wants to get up at 2am for the official moment? Not I!
p.s. Any recent gadget that’s on a network, including your cellphone, will make the change automatically.

(*) Janet Campagna points out in the comment below that the Navajo Nation (sovereign inside Arizona) does observe Daylight Saving Time.
And in spite of saying “Daylight saving time proves that only the white man believes if you cut the top of the blanket off and add it to the bottom, you get a longer blanket”, the Navajo Nation in Arizona does switch the clocks.
