Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it’s Fall Back 2019 time. Or, in other words, it’s time to turn back the clocks this weekend and begin to observe Daylight Standard Time.

Current Events
Unless you live in portions of Indiana or other areas that don’t observe this odd tradition of turning clocks forward and backward at agreed-upon times of the year, you should prepare to turn your clocks back 1 hour THIS SATURDAY NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY MORNING at 2am.

As if by magic, 2am will suddenly become 1am for much of the country, allowing you an additional hour to enjoy a Saturday night out or a quiet evening at home. Although our cell phones and smart watches will take care of this for you, make sure to adjust those battery operated wall clocks and microwave clocks manually.

THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!

‘Tired of daylight saving time? These places are trying to end it’ Each year, the approach of spring fills Scott Yates with a familiar sense of dread. The lengthening days and warmer weather are both signals that Yates—along with millions of U.S. residents—will soon be forced over an annual hurdle: shifting the clocks forward at the start of daylight saving time. The impacts of this change, and the paired “falling back” of the clocks in autumn, run from mild annoyances to potentially severe consequences, including higher risk of heart attacks, fatal car crashes, and harsher judicial sentences. Yet with many business interests siding with the annual observance of daylight saving time—often incorrectly called daylight “savings” time—the pesky time change persists across most of the United States. “It drives everybody nuts,” says Yates, who is a daylight saving time activist and entrepreneur-in-residence at the nonprofit firm CableLabs.
