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

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

:D

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.

Time is mearly an invention of man in his vain attempt at controlling the world around him.

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.

OK, OK. I checked Snopes. It's true! :cool:

man blames climate change on daylight saving time (http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/daylight.asp)

He was just kidding. :p
