St. Patties and changing clocks

Hello, So, It’s St. Patrick’s Day. Do you or have you celebrated it at all? I know some people make a big deal of it and others not so much. I never really did anything special for the day. I did have a corned beef sandwich for lunch. Does that count at all? I just read an article about the US government agreeing on staying on Day Light Saving time, but I am still unsure if it actually past and is now a law or they we just talking about it. I really don’t care either way. I leave my house at 4am so either way it is going to be dark out and I get home at about 2:30 pm and it is going to be light either way. But honestly, I am surprised we are still doing this time change thing. If you know anything more than I do, please let me know.

We do not celebrate at all here in Switzerland, well nowhere in Europe except in Ireland. I think that changing the clocks and keeping it all the year long is anyway better than switching twice a year.

@Bensen32 - Every country celebrates its own Patron Saint, but it's never a big thing. I hope that for the clocks they will decide the same here.

The headline I read, was the seneate agreeing, not sure about the House. And after both sides agree, it still needs to make it to old sleepy Joe's desk. So, only time will tell, LOL

@Bensen32 Yeah, given their track record of getting anything accomplished. I agree, leaving the clocks alone is a good thing, more or less.

We try to celebrate it with the corned beef dinner, wearing green, Lucky Charms breakfast . . . any reason to celebrate . I just want to stick to one time so we don't have to "adjust" . . . I mean, I've gotten used to it all these years, but I'd rather not have it.

I find it odd that your government will permanently change time. We don't have St. Patrick's here.

Not a big deal here. Doesn't matter a lot to me about the time either.
