I Want My Hour Back!

10/18/2021

I often feel that the early days of autumn seem to drag on until we return the clocks back to "standard time." The concept of "Daylight Saving Time" has a long history, with the earliest proposal dating back to Benjamin Franklin in 1784. Germany implemented DST in 1915, followed by England introducing "British Summer Time" in 1916. The United States adopted DST in 1918, but it was short-lived, as it lasted only until 1920 due to resistance from farmers. The idea resurfaced during World War II. Today, some regions observe DST while others do not. In 2021, many states proposed legislation to end DST, but the outcome remains uncertain. Regardless of future changes, I eagerly anticipate November 7th when we gain back the hour we "lost" earlier in the year! (LOL)

    Pearls take time to form; likewise, our words should be chosen carefully and with thought.
