In the wee hours of Sunday morning, America’s clocks officially moved back an hour, ending daylight savings time for 2007. This is the first year that the extended version of daylight savings has been in effect, as per legislation passed by Congress in 2005. By starting daylight savings three weeks earlier in the spring and ending it one week later in the fall, the thinking goes, the country will enjoy more daylight in the evening hours, thus saving $200 million annually, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. (The legislation requires the Department of Energy to verify the savings through a study.) Meanwhile, here in Charlottesville, Littlejohn’s is still open all night.
