Daylight Saving Time 2011 begins next Sunday – lighter, later

The din of reminders probably won’t start up before tomorrow or Tuesday, so we’ll mention it tonight, since things are quiet: Daylight Saving Time begins next Sunday morning (already!). At 2 am March 13, you set the clock forward an hour. Then on November 6th, you’ll turn it back (“spring forward/fall back”). Some history, from NASA.

All quiet is a good thing! We were just wondering about this at dinner tonight!

Yay! Thanks for the heads-up!

I’ve thought about that a few times over the last couple of days or so, but never when I was online and could readily look it up!

LOOOOVE Daylight Savings Time!
It’s great to come home “early”… I can get so much more done! :-)

I despise Daylight Savings Time. I wish we’d not have this seesawing back and forth of the clocks, not to mention, I need my beauty sleep! :-)

Another thumbs-up for Daylight Saving Time. (Not that our votes matter!) Plenty of time to play outside after work. I hate when DST ends and the sun sets so early – especially bad in these northern latitudes.

Sorry, comment time is over.
