Daylight savings time ends on November 6. It's always on the first Sunday in November after Congress extended it about 5 years back. Baja California
is now synchronized with California because of the large number of people who cross the border in both directions and the resulting confusion during
the 2 or 3 weeks in the spring and fall when there was a time change crossing the border in California. Binational business people in San Diego and
Tijuana hated it.
I'm not sure about BC Sur or the rest of Mexico. Daylight savings is problematic in Mexico City because it's so far south, as there isn't as much
difference between the day length during the summer and winter. There was a recent attempt in California to get rid of daylight savings altogether.
It failed.

For those that want to work, It is OK to change your work hours and not worry about daylight Savings.

Hypocrisy triumphs with the left.
Back on topic: It will be TIME for a CHANGE so the economy works for everyone, not just the elites (real 1%ers) and government employees!

Back on topic. Does that mean that once Hillary has been sworn in, You can quit worrying about the Presidency and go back to work?

It all started with te Navajo tribe that traditionally cut 12 inches off the top of their blankets every Spring to make it cooler and appear
to be longer. Then every Fall they would reverse the process to make the blakets warmerand appear to be shorter.

I think bob is trying to say...
"When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’ "

“An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an
hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later.” -- Winston Churchill
