Roll on Spring :jump:

Means we all gotta get up early if we wanna finish that job before its to dark to see and we sit there with our torches (translation: flashlight) (-)

I try and think positive
As soon as it hits the winter solstice (about late December) I think: Each day from now on is gonna get brighter :crazy:

It’s that S.A.D. time of year turn so come on everybody let’s turn on all those bright lights and keep on smiling 😀

I look forward to winter for the crisp clear skies (I love astronomy) but I hate the never ending darkness.

Daylight Savings Time, from a United States perspective, is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Eastern time zone portion of Indiana, and by most, but not all, of Arizona.

We had a federal law passed called the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that put the US, for the most part, under a Daylight Savings Time program (to help conserve energy and have a “standard” across the States). The most recent law that had an impact on DST was signed by President Reagan in 1986 when it changed the start of DST to the first Sunday in April (no change to the end, the last Sunday in October). This put us closer to when most of Eurpoe starts theres I believe.

So the extra hour we gained today will be given back next year on the 3rd of April. 😥

(-) For the most part, we here on the Eastern part of the US (JillBeans, Glenn Taylor, me) are always five hours behind you folks in the UK. I “think” for one week in the Spring you are six hours since your DST starts on the last Sunday of March while ours starts on the first Sunday in April.

Since some of my business is now conducted across many countries and continents, I like to visit World Time Server to check on local times if I don’t already know what time it currently is “there”.

Ah ha!

Here in snowy Saskatchewan the clocks stay the same all year round, which means you guys in the UK are now only 6 hours ahead of us. When I was in the UK I was always forgetting to alter the clock, so now I don’t have to worry about it. Mind you, if you’ve ever been to Saskatchewan, time pretty much stands still here anyway….

You don’t know how blessed you are Graham

Its a ritual here in changing everything from videos, cd’s even ‘puters
And if you forget boy does it throw you out.

So we got an extra hour did we? Well I spent mine adjusting everything
