Big weekend here in the USA. It's Halloween tomorrow and on 1 November @ 2 AM many of us will have to switch from daylight saving time to standard time. So we'll 'gain' an hour of sleep Saturday night.
If you don't turn your clock back you'll be an hour early (right?) for your Sunday meeting, or in my case, my Sunday flight to Baltimore for the Geological Society of America meeting.
And speaking of geology, here are a few 'Halloween-themed' maps from the USGS. You might have to enlarge them (click on the image) to see what I mean.
Enjoy!
