Good Morning: It’s An Hour Later Than You Think It Is!

Guess what? You lost an hour last night. It happened while you were sleeping. But that's okay: it's only daylight saving time. Nothing to be too worried about. But don't forget to turn your clocks one hour ahead. 

Whatever time it says on your stove clock, your alarm clock, your watch, that obscure clock on the high shelf: it's actually one hour later.

Chances are the time on your computer is correct. Those contraptions seem to always know the correct time. You friends on Facebook will probably be posting about this all day. 

Still, if you're not careful you may find yourself running a little behind schedule. You might even show up an hour late for brunch at Rosewater—or wherever you do brunch around here.

Daylight Saving Factoid from the Edmonton Sun: Daylight saving time, which requires participating regions to turn
their clocks one hour ahead in the spring and one hour back in the
fall, was introduced by the U.S. as an energy-saver in 2005. The idea
was, shifting an hour of daylight from early morning to late evening
would be more in sync with waking time and reduce residential energy
use.

  1. I think Franklin knew what he was doing back then. For those of you you who never experienced Stickball( sorry to hear that) In June the sun hovered up there until about 9:15

  2. I don’t like the HOUR being deducted – I feel like we never get it back! although we’re s upposed to.
    Bike time!
