I would have forgotten.
When we turned them back in the fall, I was an hour early.

Ah, my favorite night of the year when I have to work - only 11 hrs of work instead of 12! It also means an extra hour of light in the evenings at WDW next week!

Ha, I didn't know it was coming up! Thanks for the reminder, I've been "in a world of my own" lately, to quote Alice ;)

My brother said they were saying this will be the last time change on the radio, is that true??? I couldn't find anything about it online and most radio stations aren't reliable when it comes to stuff like that, anyways...but I'll be mad if they don't fall back!

Don't get too excited about warm weather yet! Remember that the clock change has been bumped up a month from April. It's supposed to be an energy saver.

I know we are still a little way away from warm but it means it's on it's way. Oh and I heard it's supposed to get up to almost 60 on Saturday. :thumbsup:

I had sent this to all my employees in an email and you'd be surprised at the number of them that hadn't realized it was so soon!

As for the last time change ever? There is at least one state (Arizona?) that doesn't change at all any time of the year. And most other parts of the world don't do this either. I think the measure was adopted during WWII as an energy savings measure. So do we really need to do this any more?

I just like the idea of more sunlight time!!

Yeah, that's what was said, that everyone else in the world doesn't do it so why should we? But I like the time change. So maybe this is just Florida talking about it...maybe they're just considering it. I hope not. I like it being dark at 5:00-6:00 in the fall/winter.

While you're at it, please-please-PLEASE change the batteries in your smoke and CO alarms! Just like your clocks, it only takes a minute but it's a minute well spent! :thumbsup:
