* “daylight saving time” is ON in the summer time
* Easy to remember: day has light & summer has light (day and summer both are bright)
* “daylight saving time” sometimes called “summer time”

* why use dst? adds extra hour of daylight to nights
– whole story exists behind it

* spring forward (dst starts, move clock 1 hour forward)
* fall back (dst goes away, move clcok 1 hour back)

* most states take on dst:
2014 most of USA:
march 9th 2014: dst on SPRING FORWARD
nov 2nd 2014: dst off FALL BACK

2015 most of USA:
march 8th 2015: dst on SPRING FORWARD
nov 1st 2015: dst off FALL BACK

* the states that dont take on dst, do not move clocks forward, they are one hour behind compared to their partners in the same timezone that do take on dst
