Time to set the clock ahead

| |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans are about to get an extra hour of evening sunshine for cookouts, sports or whatever as daylight-saving time returns this weekend.

That means set the clocks ahead — spring forward — before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight-saving time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday and will stay until Oct. 31.

It’s also a good time to replace batteries in smoke alarms, safety advocates say.

Some parts of the country don’t observe daylight-saving time. Those include Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana located in the Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
