    This is your annual reminder to give in to the insanity of setting your clocks back an hour so that sunrise and sunset come much too early. And if you have battery-powered hazard detectors in your home, either change the batteries or upgrade to long-life lithium batteries. If you do that latter, post a reminder on the detector to check the batteries annually to make sure they're still up to the job.

    Thanks for the "timely" reminder. We always do this and we put the date on the battery so we know when we last changed it in case we decide that we need to do this in the spring at the next time change. It's good to check the detectors twice a year in any case. Sometimes we have to buy 9 volts just for this purpose.

    It's the second Sunday in March, which means it's time to SPRING FORWARD and lose an hour of sleep. Be sure to set any remaining manual clocks and, if necessary, turn on the DST switch on your cameras.
    And be sure to check or replace the batteries on all of your danger detectors.

    It's the first weekend in November, and time to fall back. Sleep an extra hour on Sunday, then set all of your clocks (including the ones in your cameras) to one hour earlier. If you still have clocks that have to be set, that is.

    When will this madness end?

    Check your detector batteries, too.

    This Sunday is the second Sunday in March, time to set your clocks ahead and get up an hour earlier for the next eight months. Don't forget to check your detector batteries!

    Personally, I set my clocks ahead on Friday so I can adjust over the weekend and don't feel as bad when I have to get up an hour earlier on Monday morning.
