Daylight Saving Time

Don't forget to set your clocks forward! A popular misconception is that Daylight Saving Time has something to do with farming and the benefit of farmers -- like these happy folk. Actually, it's intended to provide more daylight during times when people are more likely to be up, out, and about. The concept of daylight saving time was suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. Several European countries put daylight saving time into practice during WW I. The United States adopted it and rejected it at different times. After WWI, it proved unpopular and was dropped. During WWII, it was adopted all year long between 1942 and 1945 and was referred to as "War Time."

So, join me in enjoying more daylight in your day and get out there and go and be and do!
