Daylight Savings Time (most of USA) this weekend (March 8)

[MiketheGrate]

Just a reminder for most of the folks in the US (and people visiting the parks in FL or CA) that Daylight Savings Time takes effect at 2:00am on Sunday, March 8, so make sure you set your clocks FORWARD an hour when you go to bed on Saturday night. Would hate to miss a ROTR boarding group because of Daylight Savings!

Spring ahead, Fall back!

Hopefully this is the last time in Florida we have to do this silly thing. It needs to be pushed forward Sunday and left there permanently. I guess we will see if Congress finally approves the Bill so we can stop the stupidity.

We're getting ready to do something inconvenient, unsafe and unhealthy for no good reason.

Have a good weekend (and try to get a nap Sunday--you'll need it).

I have to work Sunday, and my shift starts at 5am. I am going to bed at 8:00 . . .

I mean...Europe gets it:

EU to abolish practice next year?

The practice, which is currently regulated across the European Union, has grown increasingly unpopular over the years. Critics say switching clocks disrupts biorhythms in humans and livestock alike, leading to health problems.

In 2018, an EU poll indicated overwhelming support for ending daylight saving time altogether. A year later, the European Parliament voted to abolish it by 2021.

The decision left it up to EU member states to decide whether to stick to the twice-yearly change, but there is no uniform position on whether the bloc should adopt summer or winter time. With 2021 just around the corner, no concrete plans on how to implement the EU's decision have been made since last year's vote.

Will Sunday be the last time Europeans turn back the clocks? Only time will tell.
