It’s Saturday, called in French Samedi.
Mad as a March Hare
In North America (most parts of it) clocks must be turned back an hour – at 2 AM on Sunday morning! So do it before bedtime this evening
Sunday will be 25 hours long. Though the extra hour is inserted, officially and by machines, at 2 AM, you can have it wherever you like, such as on waking up and opting for another hour of slumber. Or, the next evening, “I’ll stay up late, the way I used to…” We could think of many scenarios for saying “That was a good hour, I’ll live it over again!”
Until next March 9 – only a third of the year – American clock time will correspond with natural solar time. Clocks will be saying “12” when it’s really the middle of daytime and the Sun is highest, instead of an hour earlier.
For the history of this interference with time, its variations, and my opinion of it, see our page on clock shifting times.
