Spring Ahead

Folks, it is that time of year again. Yes, already. It is time for most of the United States to push their clocks ahead one hour and begin Daylight "Savings" Time.
So, before you go to bed tonight, make sure that the clocks in your abode are set one hour ahead. Because 2am will become 3am in the blink of an eye.
Keep this in mind "savings" time fanatics.
We have from the second Sunday in March to the second Sunday in November of "savings" time. But really, the optimum to actually make it actually work is to begin in April and end in September.
For instance, here in California where I live, the sun is up and bright a little after 6am. Tomorrow, that will be 7am. So once again it is a radical change in the morning hours. Again, wait until about mid-April and it would not be all that radical.
And that second Sunday in November, it goes the other way. The evening is the radical change. And it is proven that more auto accidents occur because of drivers not properly adjusted for evening driving at rush hour. Change it in September and you would not have these problems.
Kudos go to Arizona, Hawai'i, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands that do not buy into Daylight "Savings" Time at all.
Go ahead.
Have your fun tomorrow you Daylight "Savings" Time people. My time is coming in November!
