The Third Sunday in October

I was so confused yesterday. I set my phone alarm for 8:00, but it went off when it was still dark outside, and my watch said only 7 am. First I thought my phone was off, but the clock in the hall said 8:00, too. At heart, I'm a conspiracy theorist, because my next conjecture was, who snuck in here and changed my watch? I couldn't think of anyone who would do that, though, except maybe my Catholic hostess who maybe fiendishly wanted me to miss church or something. And of course I considered that it could be Daylight Saving Time, but I carefully recited "Spring forward, fall back" and knew we should gain an hour, not lose one. Also, nobody mentioned Daylight Saving at all last week.

Of course, Follower, if you're a little quicker than I am at 7:00/8:00 am, you've figured out that [duh] October IS spring for these crazy Brazilians. So, yeah. I'm 5 hours later than you now, California. At least until November, when it will be 6 hours. Change those clocks, and get the extra hour of sleep that I missed!
