Daylight Saving Time!!
Who remembered to turn their clocks ahead one hour last night or this morning when they woke up.? I used to like the old First Sunday in April you “Spring” Forward an Hour and the Last Sunday in October we “Fall” Back an Hour. now we all need to remember it’s The 2nd Sunday of March that we Spring forward and the 1st Sunday of November that we Fall Back. The History of DST was quite interesting to read up on, while I knew about some of the facts and reasons about DST the stuff I didn’t know was intriguing (to me anyway). I have a few links for you guys to see if you find any of it as interesting as I did.
So for my US and other parts of the world friends you may want to have a look at this site (most were about the US when I googled DST) This site had many pages about other parts of the world too. For my Canadian friends have a look at this site and this link. It’s always funny when time changes an hour and some people show up to work an hour late, but I guess the debate is on if a longer DST period is better for our environment or not.
I know my country of birth India only has one time zone in all of India and it also stays on Standard time all year round. I’ve often wondered why they don’t change with the world too. Maybe the answers are in those links I provided.? I better go through all the pages just incase everything I want to know about DST is mentioned. Remember to always SPRING Forward and FALL Back during the correct Sunday of the Proper month from now on!
