Anyway, no more waiting til April. From now on it starts the second Sunday of March.
And it doesn't end until November as opposed to October now either! It's a full six extra weeks of later sunsets.
They say they did this to help conserve energy (fewer people using lights in their homes because it's lighter longer when they get home). I don't know why we don't just go to this PERMENANTLY, year round!
In fact, let's spring ahead TWO hours!
I've often told people that when I get older I'm gonna set my clocks to DAYLIGHT JIM TIME!
I'll just wear a watch that shows two times, MY TIME and the actual time.
In MY time zone it will be light until 10 PM everynight, EVEN in winter! What the heck, with all the 24 hours stores and stuff, if I'm self-empoyed, what will it matter!
I'll just have to remember when people say they'll meet me at 11 AM that's actually 2 PM JIM TIME
