Just a reminder to set your clocks back this weekend. Rich always changes the clocks in in our home on Saturday evening. Why Rich is the clock turner I do not know, but he is a master at it. In fact, thinking back over our marriage or many years, I do not remember ever setting the clocks back. Thanks Rich.
Here is the history why Daylight Saving Time was started here in the USA. I found it rather interesting:
"Daylight Saving Time was instituted in the United States during World War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between April and October. During World War II the federal government again required the states to observe the time change. Between the wars and after World War II, states and communities chose whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time. In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which standardized the length of Daylight Saving Time." (About.com/geography)
