A News By 4usnews:Time does not suck it up, guys: after today, the world will be dark at 5 o’clock in the evening. Well, maybe not the whole world in accordance with this map, but here on the East Coast for sure, this “winter” as the standard time is also called. It makes sense to me because, although the official start of winter more than a month, if it is dark when you get up in the morning and dark when you’re eating dinner, the whole world seems kind of cool, is not it?
In addition to setting the clock back an hour today, take a minute to replace the batteries in your smoke as well. Jason Fitzpatrick on Lifehacker says: “properly installed and tested the alarm house fire fresh batteries is one of the simplest and most effective things you can do to protect yourself and your family from a house fire.”
Energizer has teamed up with the International Association of Fire Chiefs to offer, the batteries in your local fire department. (Call to see if your FD is involved.) Energizer to change your clocks to change the batteries campaign also offers free information and fire safety coloring pages for kids. Other things you can do with your extra hour today include making fire escape plan and testing (or buy) your carbon monoxide detector. Of course, you can just get an extra hour of sleep, but changing the batteries will help you rest easy knowing your family is protected for another year.....
