Eyes feeling itchy and watery right now? That’s often allergic conjunctivitis, an eye allergy triggered when pollen hits the conjunctiva, causing histamine release that leads to redness, burning, itching and tearing. It’s common in spring when pollen is high. Learn more at https://ow.ly/55kO50YKBKg

Remember to set your clocks a hour forward this Saturday night!

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 2:00 A.M., when clocks will “spring forward” one hour to Daylight Saving Time. Most people will set their clocks forward before going to bed on Saturday night, March 7, so they wake up at the correct time Sunday morning. . . but WHY?? 🕑️

Many Americans feel that changing clocks is outdated. In recent years, public frustration has fueled political momentum to make either DST or Standard Time permanent. While Congress has not yet passed legislation for permanent DST, states are taking matters into their own hands, and 29 states are actively pursuing some form of permanent time change.

In the U.S., there are some exceptions to DST that already exist: Arizona (except for the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

Are you someone who wants to "lock the clock"? Let us know what you think! Almanac.com/states-object-changing-clocks-daylight-saving-time
