WASHINGTON (AP) - Once again the old calendar on the wall says
it's time to change the clock, trading an hour's sleep for more
evening sunshine.
Most Americans will set their clocks forward one hour this
weekend. Officially the change to daylight-saving time occurs at 2
a.m. Sunday, local time, though most folks will reset their clocks
and watches before going to bed.
The shift also serves as a reminder to install new batteries in
warning devices such as smoke detectors and hazard warning radios.
In areas that observe the change, standard time will return on
Nov. 1.

The change messes me up for about two weeks and it doesn’t matter if it is spring forward, or fall back.

Personally, I like more daylight at the end of the day.  Don’t much matter in the mornings.  In fact, I start to feel like I am running late when the sun is out too bright before I leave for work.  So, I leave too early and give away my time!  lol

Right on BamaBob!  Standard time is a bummer and very depressing.

Why don’t we just spring forward and then leave it alone!  Let Americans vote on this time change business!
