Spring forward!

Don't forget to move your clocks ahead one hour tonight.

Unless you one of the curmudgeons who don't believe in daylight savings time!

LOL I don't like it much in the fall but I sure do like springing forward..

Same here. I think the whole daylight savings thing is a farce.

I do to, time to get rid of it. An I'm really tired of the news people bringing in all these analyst and shrinks talking about how challenging it is for people. It's an hour people, sleep in an extra hour and u loose nothin. An If u do get up its becasue u didn't need the sleep anyway

I love daylight savings time. We should have it in the winter and double in the summer.

The only thing I don't like about it is I get to doin somethin in the yard or garage an don't think it's time to fire the grill up yet because it's so bright out then by the time I realize the time its too late an we usually end up eatin around 8 or 9. LOL

FYI, there are 21 states that are presently considering the elimination of DST.
IMHO, I agree with them and wish all states were the same time. Gets a little confusing sometimes when RVing, but maybe that's just me.
Happy RVing,
Jeff

Change out your smoke detector batteries today as well.

We live in Indiana and there are some counties in the state that don't change time. We're 60 miles north of New Albany and their on a different time than us.

I thought I would like DST, but I don't.

It is time we, "Set it and forget it" one way or the other. I don't care which, but stop this twice a year changing.

All moving the clock ahead one hour does is get me one hour closer to the blizzard.

I remember when I was a little kid, the AZ legislature didn't get around to passing (or forgot to pass) a bill exempting us from the DST farce. During the summer, it wouldn't get dark until well after 9 PM. I vaguely remember raising a ruction when the 'rents sent me to bed at 8 PM while it was still broad daylight.

Here in AZ, people who have to work in the heat just have the good sense to go to work earlier instead of messing around with the clock.

I read an alleged Native American proverb that said that only a white man would cut one foot off the end of a blanket, sew it to the other end, then believe he made the blanket longer.

As parents in Western MI, we faced the same issue due during the summer: Sending our boys to bed while still broad daylight. Both of them now live in AZ so they don't face that problem.

AZ: The Navajo Reservation observes daylight saving time; the Hopi Reservation does not. The Navajo Reservation surrounds the Hopi Reservation, so if you drive from Flagstaff to Gallup through Tuba City and Ganado, you'll change time on four occasions.
