Daylight Savings begins this weekend. So, set your clock an hour ahead Saturday night (or 2:00 a.m. on Sunday). Unless you live in one of those states that doesn't do that, in which case don't.
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

A few years ago, going from daylight savings to reg. time...........I went to bed, and changed the clock back an hour. My wife went to bed an hour or so later, and changed the clock. And, little did we know, we had an alarm clock that changed itself.
Sunday morning was kind of messed up, to say the least.

Ha ha ha...I think my wife and I did something like that too. We both separately updated a few clocks and we VERY confused the next morning. We had clocks that were 9am (nobody changed), 10am (only one person changed) and 11am (we both changed) in the same room.

Already ? seems like we just set them back. Lighter later days, warm weather approaching, but I'm still going to miss that hour of sleep.

Ditto.
This whole Daylight Savings Time has its use when the country rolled up the sidewalks at 5PM ....... but that's not the case anymore. We have a 24 hours/day economy now, so constantly changing the time is useless.

Can someone explain what the point of changing the clocks is supposed to be? In the summer is stays light until 10 PM here, it seems like leaving the clock alone and it being light until 9 would be fine.

I think farmers are to blame, but I could be wrong.

farmers may have been to blame initially, but, now, it is mostly to keep it light in the morning for children waiting at bus stops IMO.

How do you figure? Since we changed the clocks, it dark later into the morning.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

it's the fallback in October. Days are getting shorter, so you have the clocks fall back and open up more daylight for the kids. At some point in the spring, you have to pick a point to revert back where it's light enough.

But the Fall back is back to the standard time. The Spring adjustment is the "Daylight Saving Time" and is the one that adjusts the clock from the traditional time. Hence why there are many places that do not adjust, and now are and hour behind us until fall.

It was supposed to be an energy saving measure, once upon a time. It went away for quite a while in most parts of the country. Then, around WWII, it came back. Then it went away for part of the country again. Then Nixon brought it back to save energy.
Of course, as I have said before, that was when the country largely rolled up and turned off at 5PM. It made sense to "move" the work day into the hours when the sun was shining.
That world is gone though, and it makes no sense to continue this idiocy.

If that's the case they are doing it backwards. It was getting light at 6:30......now not until 7:30.

I think so it would be lighter in the spring evenings so they could plow longer.
