Daylight Saving Time Ends
This could be the coolest event of all. We gain an hour. Why? Because on Sunday at 2 a.m. daylight savings time ends. So before you head to bed, turn your clocks back one hour. Smart phones with automatic settings will do it for you, but those with good old-fashioned watches will have to turn back an hour by hand.
