I love coming to Florida on this second weekend in March, because we go ahead two hours, one for the Eastern time zone and the other for the transition to DST. This is the one weekend of the year when I can be fairly sure of sleeping in until at least 5:00 a.m. This morning, I did wake before five by eventually went back to sleep and didn't wake until the eastern sky was brightening. The herons and egrets were fishing before dawn, but first light seemed to wake the gulls -- and they roused everyone else.
