That time of year again folks, turn the clocks one hour ahead of "spring ahead!" Seems like we just did a "fall back." I don't know about you but to me this constant changing of clocks annoys me. Perhaps it's because we have so many clocks, thirteen in my bedroom and bathroom alone. Sure, I acknowledge that I have more clocks than the average bear (about sixty in the manse at last count) but this constant changing. We have two clocks that are set high on the wall that we need to bring out the ladder to change. One of us is eventually going to fall changing those clocks.
There is good news on the horizon though. Delaware is set to put into law to make Daylight Savings Time permanent.
Hallelujah and amen!
Now that makes sense. But first it has to coordinate with our neighboring state Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and even New York. I feel confident this time next year we will have a permanent Daylight Savings Time. Just makes a lot of sense. This changing back and forth was just to mainly accommodate those moms who didn't want their kids standing in the dark waiting for their school bus in the morning. Hey, wintertime the days are shorter. Deal with it.
My Mother used to tell me that Daylight Savings Time was enacted mainly to give rich people more time to golf. I believe her. But it was nice today at 5:30 PM to have the sun still shining brightly in the sky. Spring is coming and the days are getting longer. Let's keep it that way.
