Daylight-Saving Time Is Back
Apr 3, 2004
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Daylight-saving time has returned. For most Americans, that meant setting clocks one hour ahead Saturday night. The official change came at 2 a.m. local time.
Folks who forgot were an hour late Sunday for church, work or other events.
Daylight-saving time lasts until Oct. 31.
Safety officials suggest the annual ritual also is a good time to change batteries in smoke detectors to ensure they will work if needed.
Some parts of the country don't observe daylight-saving time: Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa.

AS sombody who is retired from the every day world ( I am employed selling on E-bay so my time is mine), I'm up all hours of the day and night. Therefore, DST won't affect me very much.
However, MY POOR DOG. It will take a week for her to adjust to eating at different times. She won't be able to figure out when to sleep (although when you sleep 18 hours a day, It can't be a big problem) and when to lick her butt.

Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year. What do you bet news anchors will have psychologists giving advice on how to adjust to the loss of sleep.

You know, none of us has been through this time change thing before, and it can be traumatic.

I remember last October when we went to standard time. I got so much extra sleep that night that my eyes were as big as saucers for a week. (sarcasm)
