Daylight Savings Tommorow! One extra hour to sleep!
For some reason instead of the last sun in oct it became first sun in nov. Dunno why.
Congress is doing an energy conservation study that started this year. The bill was passed in 2005 (I'm 90% sure) to mess with the time change dates so see if we use more or less energy this way. The disclaimer was that they could change it back whenever they wanted.
It's a really annoying tradition for a purpose that is no longer necessary. Plus it really messes with your internal clock for about a week. Grar.
Here is the history behind Daylight Saving. Proposed by Ben Franklen to adjust for the difference in daylight caused by rotation of the earth. This did not take effect until after WWI when Congress passed a bill to radify this. This was mostly to save on candles, this tradition does have a purpose and I say sleep because I live in the Mid-West and this does not take effect till late.
