Another year, another hour
Springing forward is one of those things that may cost you an hour of sleep on a Saturday night, but brings you countless hours of later daylight throughout the summer. I know I'm surely giving you a wealth of knowlege here, but I will say that I'm a huge fan. Watching the Real World without turning on a light is what summer is for. And turning the clocks ahead three weeks earlier this year is right up there with sliced bread and Krispy Kreme donuts in my book.
I'm still not exactly sure why they do this daylight saving thing. Apparently the energy savings is inconclusive, especially during the summer when air conditioners have to run longer in the evening. It changed during World War I for some weird reason, but that's all I can safely say.
So anyway, go ahead and enjoy a new trivia question:
What witty American first proposed Daylight Saving Time (though slightly in jest)?
Catch y'all on Friday....
Daylight Saving Time was proposed by Philly's own, Ben Franklin.

if I watch national treasure again I would know that answer. hehehehe
I think we are the smart one's here in Arizona, we never turn our clocks. I think it's a waste of time...But whatever. hehehehehe
You'll find even more glee then next fall, when we "fall back" a month later in November I believe. I'm guessing it's a slow process towards year-round savings of daylight - one can only hope!
