canyonwalkerDaylight Saving Time starts in the US tonight. Well, technically it starts tomorrow morning. At 2am on Sunday, March 10 our clocks "spring forward" by an hour.
As usual, I've grown comfortable with being on standard time in the past few weeks. Seeing the sun set before 5pm throughout December and January is always a bummer about being on standard time. But by late February the sunset locally stretches on to 6pm, which seems... not unreasonable... while sunrise has advanced up to just before my 6:45am weekday alarm, making it easier to get out of bed in the morning.
Shifting the clocks an hour will shift my mornings back to waking up in the dark, at least for the next several weeks. That'll be balanced out, of course, by the extra hour of sunlight in the evenings. I can get back into my evenings-on-the-balcony habit again! ...Just as soon as the weather cooperates by getting warm.
