Daylight Saving Time starts Sunday moring at 2 a.m.

Can you believe it? It's almost time to spring forward.

On Sun. morning or late Sat. night depending on how you look at it, move those clocks forward an hour.

We won't fall back until Nov. 2nd.

That means Sunday night, the sun will be out until around 7:25 p.m. On the other hand, it won't rise until 7:35 a.m.

I'm not sure if daylight savings time actually saves energy. In Florida during the summer it's kind of nice when it gets dark and finally cools down a little.

What do you think? Is daylight savings great, a waste or just a test to see how long it takes us to make all our clocks read the same time?
