In case you are unaware - time changed last night. Usually I am on top of that and prepared, but this time it took me quite by surprise! I was, for the most part, unaware until it was mentioned to me last night. By the time I was heading to bed, it wasn’t forefront in my mind, and by the time I awoke, I had forgotten again. Thankfully, my computer didn’t, so that’s one less clock to change. A new law went into effect in 2007, changing the Spring dates (it’s now a little earlier). Now might be a good time to drag out the calendars and planners (those that are not already marked) and add these dates:
v In 2008, daylight time begins on March 9 and ends on November 2.v In 2009, daylight time begins on March 8 and ends on November 1.
Remember to SPRING FORWARD in the Spring (changing the clocks from 2 am to 3 am) and to FALL BACK in the Fall (changing the clocks from 2 am to 1 am.)
