In many parts of the U.S., clocks are due to be pushed ahead an hour at 2 am, March 12th. I know many people have electronic devices that do it automatically nowadays, but I still have many clocks, including my wrist watch, that need a manual twist.

So... don't forget!

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

The computers will take care of themselves, the cars, microwave, living room clock and TV won't, but the clock in the spare bedroom was not rolled back so soon it will be fine.

Another 3 weeks and we turn ours back down here. ;-)

Cheers.

My car does, but it keeps time via GPS.

Several years ago the U.S. government expanded DST, and I don't like it, mainly because now the clocks don't change again until after Halloween, and that means the trick-or-treaters have to wait longer for it to get dark.

I have two electric clocks that were programmed to set them selves automatically. That was before CONgrASS decided to muck the woks up.
Just leave the time alone. Jeez already.

Got one of those as well. GRRRRRRRRRRRR Then the thermostat at work is also that kind, so the Air is going to kick off before the end of the work day Monday, if someone doesn't reset it and then in three weeks it will go whack again when it thinks DST starts!

I only have 4 devices to set, the range, the microwave oven, Grace's automated litterbox, and My car, the rest is on automatic, tv included.

What is this spring forward you mention.

Currently 12:18 Mountain Standard Time.

I believe you are in Arizona, a state who chooses not to participate in changing the clocks. Smart decision, imo.

Now I'm getting confused.
Spring forward?
Shouldn't that be spring backward?

No, the clocks go forward an hour.
Spring forward, fall back.

Ok. I get it.
But tell the cows that.
"The cows can become stressed and annoyed if the food is not there on time, they start mooing and jostling and they become "gnauna" as they say in Danish - Morning sour!"

Which is why we should just change the office hours of 8-5 to 7-4 and be done with the madness.

9 AM is just for the sexetaries. Gives an hour for real work to get done. ;-)

Summertime is a silly idea in the more Arctic countries.
When do we need to take advantage of daylight the most, in the summer or winter?
Right, in the winter!
In the northern parts of Sweden you don't even see the Sun for some weeks in the winter.
And during the summer it never gets dark.
Have you tried to get some sleep in broad daylight and the buildings are still hot?

And.
When we set the clock to daylight saving time the risk of heart attacks and depression increases !

Doh! Exactly what I said :-))

Exactly what "Homer" said.

Each country has to adopt a system that is best for them.

I would like to rephrase that to:
Each northern countries had to adopt to a system that is best for other countries.
