don't forget: spring forward!

daylight savings time begins "tonight," technically, early sunday morning--at 02:00--so remember to move forward one hour clocks and watches that require it before going to bed tonight or you'll be late for whatever scheduled activity you may have on your calendar.

just as i despise the editorialising of weather news, especially in winter, when it seems customary among the masses to complain about every possible drop in the mercury and snowflake that may fall on the country yet revel in the horrors of summer heat, i can't stand the ridiculous lengths some idiots would go to complain about this annual and most sensible readjustment of the means by which we atempt to measure the illusion of time. shut up already and if manually readjusting your home's and personal time-keepers is such an onus, then purchase devices that adjust automatically to the change.

national geographic news offers an interesting look back at «springing forward» while there's a comprehensive look at the matter at the webexhibits' daylight savings time site.
