I am so glad Debb Janes reminded us that we need to spring forward this weekend. For some reason I always have a hard time figuring out just what time it really is for about 2 weeks. So before you turn in for the night on Saturday, be sure to set that clock forward One Hour.
Hey, this may work out.... because when it's 6 pm DST, my body will think it's 5pm and maybe I won't be as hungry!!!
Be sure to head to Debb's post and read how DST started.
Don't forget to Spring forward this Sunday, March 11th. You'll need to set your clocks forward from 2AM standard time to 3AM daylight savings time or DST.
The idea of Daylight Savings time originated over a century ago. It was first
implemented in Germany and Britain to conserve energy during World War 1.
The United States tried it in 1918, but abandoned it after it was proved unpopular. During World War 11, the US observed DST year round from 1942 to 1945.
Finally, in 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. It mandates that all states observing DST move their clocks forward ( and back) at the same time.
For 20 years, we observed DST from early April to late October. However, in 2007, we started to Spring forward in March and fall back to standard time in November.
DST is not without controversy. Proponents say the extra daylight in the evening saves energy, extends outdoor activities, and boosts tourism and the economy.
Opponents say DST puts school children at risk regions where they have to contend with dark mornings. They claim it also disrupts sleep schedules and health.
Regardless, of which side of the debate you fall, you're going to need to Spring forward this Sunday, March 11th.
Be sure to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring by getting dirty, well, muddy to be exact. It's time for March Muddy Madness!
