No 2 o'clock hour Sunday morning
FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Tomorrow is the second Sunday in March, and so marks the start of Daylight Saving Time. Tonight, we advance our clocks and watches one hour. The change occurs, officially, at 2 a.m. Sunday. So 1:59 a.m. will be followed by 3:00 a.m., eliminating the 2 o’clock hour. Maybe if kindly Officer Speed writes you a ticket during that first hour, and enters, say, 2:23 a.m. on the citation, you can tell the judge the incident couldn’t have happened. Right. Anyway, EDT ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6.

Just a bit of advice for your next story. When you take a picture of a cop shooting a LIDAR gun, tell him to take the lense cap off first...
FR: LOL

Thats service to the community

The lens cap ... how funny. The only thing more funny than that is when someone is critiquing another and they miss spell lens cap. You guys are too funny.
FR: ... unless it's when they misspell "misspell." 8-)

It seems that one can never win when correcting another's spelling error, you always end up loosing.

Cop with a radar gun taking money away from the working man... typical.
FR: Or protecting law-abiding motorists by stopping those driving 10-plus mph over the legal limit, and thereby endangering the innocent. It's a matter of physics.

So are you going to change the time to DST on the almanac? Because I'm pretty sure the sun did not set at 6:11 PM on Sunday.
All controlled by Tribune from Chicago. I have done what I can to communicate with them. Let's all see how long it takes them to respond.

Since I can never seem to remember how to correctly spell the word that signifies an incorrectly spelled word, I always try to phrase it to read 'incorrectly spelled'. A few more key strokes, but makes sure I don't incorrectly spell the word signifying an incorrectly spelled word.
Works with other words, also.
