Spring Forward
It’s time to lose an hour of sleep this weekend. Daylight Savings Time is upon us and thanks to the new laws in the United States regarding the issue, we have a longer period of time throughout the years where the evening daylight is extended. I rather wish we would just leave it like this all year around, as I love the extra light in the evenings.
So, remember to set your clocks ahead by one hour as of 2 a.m. Sunday.
Standard time will return on November 2.
Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas do not observe American Daylight Savings Time. I never did understand the thing with Arizona. It makes it hard to do business with those people when you have to remember that they do not switch with the rest of us.
I don’t like the switch this early in the year. I already get up at 5:15 am for work, trying to adjust to an hour earlier is even more difficult, it will just be dark in the mornings again.
Since we’re no longer an agricultural based society, I’m not sure why we can’t just pick one time and stay with it year round.
I agree! One system all year around would make me a happy camper. Of course, I am all for the system that gives us more evening light. I like being outside later.
You get up at 5:15!? Yikes. I assume that once I start teaching, I will be doing the same. It is making me sleepy just to think about it.
