Daylight Savings Time

Get ready to spring forward one hour this weekend. Yes, it’s that time again. Remember to set your clocks one hour ahead on Sunday.

Cherish Sea & Time

This excerpt from “The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks in 1947: written by Robertson Davies, pretty much sums up my feelings about the daylight savings time issue.

“I don’t really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.”
