Did You Spring Forward? Daylight Savings Time Begins

Bad thing: Losing an hour's sleep. Good thing: the evenings won't be so dark.

Time to reset all the clocks. Daylight Saving Time is in effect. The big shift happened at 2 a.m.  Sunday, March 10.

You lost that you'll lose an hour of sleep. But you'll get an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day.

And when does it end? DST will last until Nov. 3, 2013.

The change affects all states except Arizona and Hawaii.

I think parts of Indiana disregard DST as well.
I wish we'd END DST. Wasn't it implemented for farmers? I've never been clear on its purpose.

Not sure if anyone is still following this, but I just found out that Europe (at least Germany) also uses DST beginning March 31st.
I didn't realize anyone else did this. I know Japan does not.

Oh, I am so glad to see that you are preserving history. My husband & I visited your town aRead More couple of weeks ago. My 9th Great Grandfather Thomas Whitlock is buried in the Old First Baptist Church yard. I was honored to stand on the porch of the home he helped build and lived in at Shoal Harbor. The name has changed to the Wilson-Seabrook House and now the Bayshore Activities Center. Wow! Too bad all the museum pieces were removed. I would love to have seen them. Maybe next trip I can see where the items moved to and help with some clean up. I would be glad to help. Ancestor of Middletown... Diana (Whitlock) Moa Broken Arrow, OK

People need help rebuilding. They do not need used items and used clothes. That time has passed.Read More How about giving out $1000 gift cards to Home Depot or Target like the Middletown Fund?
