We finally get back that hour we skipped over in the spring.

Ditto this. It switches back on the 25th for us Brits.

If I'm not mistaken the US is still on the extended version of the daylight savings that Bush put in place in '07.

Yes just one more thing Bush wanted to wield his power over...time itself.

We are being plunged into darkness and no sun when it is day. But it will soon be whiter when it turns into Siberia here.

We should just get rid of DST all together. I didn't miss it at all when I was in Arizona. The only problem there is that they should be in the central time zone. The Central time zone should be the Eastern time zone. And the Eastern time zone should be the Atlantic time zone. Basically, the Sun won't come up until 9am-10am, but will stay up until 8pm or so.

I'm not a big fan of it getting darker earlier.

I actually freaked out on the 25th because my cell phone said it adjusted itself for Daylight Savings Time. I'm kind of isolated at college so I wasn't sure if it really was or not. I checked online to confirm that my phone was wrong, and then I remembered that I set my phone to a European clock when I was in Wales, then manually changed the time but kept the region so my phone was in Ohio USA's time zone but the region was set to Wales. Skill. At least I knew back in Wales they were falling back while I've still got a few days to go. So happy DST Europe!
