Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 3/11/18

What southern Florida is talking about this week:

... the fact that the state intends to keep PERMANENTLY the hour we lost springing forward today.

In case you missed it, Florida passed a law to stay forever in Daylight Saving Time -- as in, "thanks for springing forward but you dare not fall back later this year".  Indeed, if all goes as planned, in the winter of 2018-2019, me and mine are going to be in the same time zone as Puerto Rico as we leave Eastern Standard Time behind for a few months each year.

The good news is that we have a few months to complain and/or try to get it reversed ... or else clock confusion will be our future ...
