Daylight Savings Time Comes A Month Early This Year

1. It's "Daylight Saving Time," there is no "s" at the end of "Saving."

2. Ben Franklin did not invent/suggest/think of DST. He suggested people wake up earlier to take advantage of the summer light, but he didn't suggest changing the time.

3. It saves energy.

How does it save energy ? I still do the same thing on a 24 hour cycle that I did with out DST I would think that energy savings would be because of climate and not what time I get out of bed. no "s"

love the wit !

Have to agree on this one.. I probably have a house full of lights on as we speak

and I'm not even home.

I just like the extended daylight into the evenings we will have after we 'spring' forward. Then I say let's just keep it that way from now on.

So for that part it is good but kills me fishing the morning hours. Good to see you posting Bob.

It saves energy by moving activity to times when more natural light is available. Dayligth Saving Time saves the United States between 0.7% and 1.0% of its total energy consumption each year.

Joe you are the answer man. What is 1% savings for a year can you give me that "number" and I know you know your math ? Time to google it ?
