Daylight Savings Time ended this weekend...Don't forget to set the clocks back in your car as well! I'm embarrassed to say it's happened to me enough times that I should know better by now, but as I was out running errands on Sunday afternoon, I looked at the clock in my car and became flustered at how late it was getting.
