March 11, 2018 — changing clocks in USA and Canada [March 25 in Europe] — rarely do dull men stay up this late

Spring forward with hand

Many of our members stay up until 2:00 a.m. to change their clocks at exactly the right time

Spring Ahead


Areas not using Daylight Saving Time (DST):

*  Not all areas of the U.S. are covered. Most of Arizona does not use it. Here’s an article about this: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html

*  Other areas that don’t use it are Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

*  Indiana was another until 2006.

On the day clocks changed in Austria a few years ago, DMC assistant vice president Grover Click took this photo at Vienna’s Uhrenmuseum (clock museum) that has 3,000 clocks to change

 


Topics to discuss:

•  Effects on our lives from losing the hour; compare this with gaining the hour in the fall.

•  Whether you like DST or would prefer that we don’t have it.
