Don't forget to "Spring Ahead" before you go to bed tonight... as Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday.  The time change is considered by local fire departments to be an ideal time for residents to change the batteries in their smoke, and CO detectors.  In addition... AAA is remindering motorists to proper adjustments in for safer travel.  Officials say many will find on Monday that their normal morning commute will be darker than they’re used to, which can be especially dangerous for pedestrians and children waiting at bus stops.  So, make sure to turn your clocks ahead one hour before retiring for the evening.
