Technically we don't gain (or lose) any hours of daylight - the actual number of hours of daylight stays the same (increasing until 6/21 thanks to nature, not DST) - the daylight hours just shift with respect to the clocks

Thanks for the reminder. I hadn't realized it was already this weekend.

That means its one less hour to wait to get my car back!
