Thanks for the heads up. I wouldn't want to be a day(or Hour) late or a dollar short.
Does this mean the bars stay open for an extra hour Saturday night?
151, the bar closes at the same time (2 a.m.), but it will take you an extra hour to get home.
Then again, you may not even notice losing an hour. (See explanation in the first sentence of the two (2) sentence article).
Oh ya spring forward, fall back.
