Daylight savings time

By
Real Estate Agent ID RE Lic# SP43590

 It is Pacific Daylight Time here in California today, but this Saturday night you should turn BACK your clock when you go to sleep if you live in the USA, not including Arizona. If it is 10 PM, turn the clock to 9 PM and get an extra hours' sleep! OR, you can stay awake until 2AM and change all your clocks back to 1 AM, it's up to you!

Arizona does not turn their clocks back or forward, so now they will be one hour different than California, in summer, they have the same hours as Pacific Time. They chose long ago not to participate in this practice.

Brazil is considering a 30 minute time change so their school children can walk to school in daylight hours, it is not being accepted very well there, so they are giving the public time to think about this type of a time change.

If you forget to change your clocks, you will find yourself one hour EARLY for church or any appointments on Sunday and if you are really out of touch you will be one hour early to work on Monday morning! This will likely mean you will be put to work doing things such as turning on lights or making coffee with the other early risers! It's up to you!

Daylight savings time is a good concept and thank goodness for digital clocks and computers, as almost all of your electronics will automatically reset as will your cell phone and TV, VCR, DVR etc...even some of your cars will know what time it is.

Last spring, we went to daylight savings time early, this really messed up even the electronics! THEY did not predict that happening! I downloaded software to tell my cell phone to change the time 2 weeks early and it wiped out every single APPOINTMENT I had listed in my cell phone! THIS was a disaster for me! I have fully recovered from it and now have backups to backups of everything.
