Time to Spring to Action: Daylight Saving Time Starts Overnight

Time to spring into action: Daylight saving time is upon us.

Maybe it'll be a bit harder to drag yourself out of bed Sunday after losing an hour's sleep Saturday night.

But there'll be an extra hour of sunlight in the evening in the months ahead to play ball, take a walk and enjoy the outdoors.

The time change officially starts Sunday at 2 a.m. local time, so consider setting clocks ahead by 60 minutes before hitting the hay Saturday night.

It's also a good time to put new batteries in warning devices such as smoke detectors and hazard warning radios — and again, when standard time returns Nov. 6.

No time change in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

I think there are at least one or more counties in Arizona [?], New Mexico [?], on an Indian reservation [?] that don't use Daylight Savings time.

Good point.  We could do it on a state by state basis.

You all can move your clocks around. I don't participate in this govt' conspiracy brought about by the Monsanto corporation and the Illuminati.

Who actually decrees this? It seems to be a different weekend every year.

I wouldn't mind if we took what is DST and kept it all year. I don't care that it's dark at 5 p.m. in the winter, but I do like being able to stay on the golf course till well after 8 p.m. in the summer. Winter is lousy, anyway, so this isn't going to change anything.

Agreed!

Well, central Texas winters can be glorious, but there isn't enough daylight.
