    And it's about time! (no pun intended).

    It's my favorite day of spring. It should be a national holiday!

    You mean you didn't check when you first saw the thread title?

    Now to take back my good deed for the day - we do realize that moving the clocks forward means we LOSE an hour this weekend? Notice I didn't say an hour of sleep....I'll change my clocks during the day Saturday so by nightfall I'll be nearly adjusted.

    Another piece of useless trivia: Congress put in specific language that we can go back to the old schedule of time changes whenever they realize that we're not actually saving electricity with this new schedule.

    I used to think it was the cold weather that made me change my sleeping hours. Then one day it dawned on me.
    I never adjust. In the winter I go to bed at 9:30 and get up at 5:30. (Normally) When the time changes I go to bed at 10:30 and get up at 6:30. The clock changes. I don't.

    No time change out here. Pretty sure we're the only state (85-90% of the state) that does not change.
    It's weird in June when it starts getting light out at 4:30 in the morning.

    He was just kidding.
