Daylight Savings Time

Twice a year we have the same complaints and conversations about daylight savings time. Most of us agree that it's a stupid practice and we should stop doing it. Let's pick a time and stick with it, enough with all the clock changes already.

Not this Sunday but next Sunday (03-14-21) is daylight savings time. We'll be springing forward an hour and losing another hour of sleep, oh' boy. The older I get the more I hate daylight savings time. It seems like it takes me a few days to re-adjust to the new time and to be completely honest, I hate having to run around the house and change all the clocks. Not to mention trying to remember how to re-set the time in the vehicles.

It's time to spring into action: Daylight Saving Time will be upon us Sunday morning. You'll be loosing an hour's sleep Saturday night, and Sunday morning it'll be a just bit harder to drag yourself out of bed (or you could just sleep an hour later).

Daylight saving time (DST)—is the practice of advancing clocks so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. I cannot tell you how many times I have forgotten to change my clock for either the Spring or Fall Daylight Savings time ritual...
