Spring Ahead
April 1, 2006 – 11:26 am by kimschIt’s [tag]Daylight Saving Time[/tag] again. This is the first time that ALL of Indiana will spring ahead with the rest of the midwest. Hawaii and Arizona (and Puerto Rico) do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Next year the dates for Daylight Saving Time are changing. “Spring Ahead” will be the second Sunday in March (March 11, 2007) instead of the first Sunday in April and “Fall Back” will be the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007) instead of the last Sunday in October.
It’s also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors so add some 9 volt batteries to your shopping list this weekend.
Accidents will be up monday. A few more folk killed for Franklin’s folly.
We no longer dance to the factory whistle, so we each have the ability to adjust our own time to suit our own interests.
Of course, a half centuury ago it was my job to set the plant clock up or back. 4 hours pay each time.
