Firefighters in Indianapolis rescued a teenager from a tree the other day. He climbed it to rescue a cat, and got stuck 35 feet up. Luckily he's fine other than a few scrapes. Firefighters said the cat made no effort to come down and seemed like it was enjoying itself. So they just left it alone. A tree trimmer eventually got it down though.

The mornings will be a little colder after we fall back this Sunday. So here's a question: In general, would you rather be too cold, or too hot?

Of the people who answered a new poll, 45% said they'd rather be too hot . . . and 55% would rather be too cold. (16% said they "don't know," so we didn't include that group.)

The only demographic that would rather be hot than cold is OLDER people. 52% of people over 55 years old said they'd rather be hot.

Daylight Saving Time ends THIS Sunday morning at 2:00 A.M. The good news is that you "gain" an hour . . . and get an extra hour of sleep that night. The bad news is that it's more clock-changing, and Americans are OVER IT.

In a new poll, 63% of people want to eliminate Daylight Saving Time FOREVER. Just 16% want it to continue, and 21% "aren't sure." Probably because they don't remember why we're even doing it in the first place.

The idea, ages ago, was to align "waking hours" to "daylight hours," but with technological advances and globalization, it has seemingly become more disruptive than beneficial.

The latest Economist/YouGov Poll finds that nearly four times as many Americans would end the practice of setting clocks ahead in the spring and back again in the fall.

This annual event takes place every October 23 — so if someone at work is bugging you, don’t be shy — take advantage.
