Most of the powers-that-be wisely decided to hold spring break the week between this Sunday’s Daylight Saving Time starting and the following Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day. Hopefully, the result will be a less stressful time to adjust to the loss of an hour.
To welcome folks back from their spring getaways, the 2024 Dallas Mavs St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival will take place on Saturday, March 16. That means the junction of Greenville Avenue and Lovers Lane will be thriving with beer trucks, portable restrooms and all types of preparations starting on Friday, March 15.
So, forward your clocks one hour this Saturday before you go night-night. And remember to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
BTW, you’ll get that hour back on Sunday, November 3, right in time for Election Day on Tuesday, November 5.
