Does anyone else around the world have this bizarre practice of Daylight Savings?? I just wish it would be all year around, but I can't wait for this weekend. Up north here, we will get more light until 7:00 p.m....and in June, the sky will get dark after 10:30 pm!
What is everyone going to do with more daylight????
I am going to garden my heart out!!!

Do you get an extra hour? I thought you lost one???? I don't know because we never change.

Nevermind - read the post, Chris
With that said, I don't get extra daylight.

Oh, that's right, your area is on the line....everybody changes but Indiana and Arizona? Yes we Spring "forward" + 1 and Fall "back" - 1. And it helps with the kitties....when they climb up on the bed at 5 a.m. for breakfast, it's already 6 - +++++


Does Canada change????

That is so true! I swear so many of junior high school students here in the U.S. will put Minnesota in the middle of California. If you ask them to name three countries in Europe they say things like " Um, Japan.....um, like, Paris.....and, like, you know....Iraq, dude."
