Remember to turn your clocks BACK an hour before going to bed tonight. Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2am Sunday morning. Yay for an extra hour of sleep! Boo for it being darker earlier…

Also, don’t forget to:

• Change the batteries in your smoke detector
• Change the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector
• Flip/rotate your mattress for optimal life
• Go through your closets and drawers for old, unneeded clothes to donate to charity

With the election only a few days away, use this extra hour to get informed about the candidates and issues that will be on the ballot this year. Much of the focus is on the Presidential race, but don’t forget about the state and local elections as well.

Save time by becoming familiar with your ballot before entering the voting booth. Kentucky residents can view their ballot here.

As usual, there are a lot of negative attack ads and just plain mis-representation of the facts. With the web at your fingertips, use it to research and find out the truth about the candidates (again, don’t forget to look into state and local races as well as the Presidential).

Here are a couple resources to get you started:

• ontheissues.org
• factcheck.org
