Spring Forward

Did you set your clocks?

In 1990 my sister and I were living in Dayton, OH for color guard. Our big competition of the year fell on the weekend with the daylight savings time change. Since we were gone all weekend, and other people were in charge of our schedule, we didn't really think about the time change at all. The competition was in Buffalo, NY, so we took a bus, and didn't get home until Monday night.

We completely forgot about the time change.

That Tuesday or Wednesday, we had to return the U-Haul truck (we were moving back to CA) that we had used to bring some of our furniture to a friend's house.

About an hour before the truck was due, we realized that we had totally spaced on the time change, and we only had about 5 minutes to get the truck back, or we'd be charged for an entire extra day!

So we rushed over there, made it just in time, and felt like complete dorks that we had gone a whole 2-3 days without remembering about the time change.
