Ah, spring!

OK, so it’s another two weeks away, but omigosh, spring is really, actually coming!
Here’s the big hints:
It was over 50 degrees today and will top 60 tomorrow, according to weather reports (we will blithely ignore the forecast for rain Sunday and temperatures back into the 40s…)
Our favorite seasonal ice cream parlor opened today. Imagine a long winter without cotton candy ice cream. Well, yes, I can too (eww!) but kids love the stuff. Recession, reschmession! Let’s eat ice cream!
And the big hint that spring is on our heels: Daylight Saving Time is almost here. Yes, you must wake up at 2 a.m. Sunday and spring forward (or wait until Sunday morning and move your clocks ahead an hour.)
The beginning of Daylight Saving Time also comes with a serious reminder: Change your smoke alarm batteries. Smoke alarms save lives. We’ve seen it again and again in Rockland. So go get a pack of 9V batteries, climb on a chair, and celebrate spring by taking an important safety step.

The need for Daylight savings time has outlived its usefulness. I believe we should stop using it.
