Because we are now officially in daylight savings time, you know I have to say this;
WE DID NOT GAIN AN HOUR OF SUNLIGHT!!!
OMG! What is wrong with people?!?! We get the same amount of sunlight today as we did 2 days ago! We did not magically get a 25 hour day! I hate daylight savings time.
There is no law requiring a state to institute DST. Hawaii and Arizona don't bother. You know why? Because it's aggravating!
In 1966, the Uniform Time Act only standardized DST, so if a state chose to participate, they had to do it at the same time everyone else did. It lasted 6 months. In 1986, it was extended to 7 months. In 2007, it was extended again, to 8 months. Essentially, we change our clocks for 4 months out of the year. WHY does that make ANY sense?! Grrrr.
OK, rant over - until November
