Daylight Savings Time


     Benjamin Franklin was the first person to suggest the ideal of Daylight Savings Time.  He thought if people got up early they could use free light and save on candle wax.  We don't use candles to light our mornings anymore but we have  Daylight Savings Time forced on us.  DST is suppose to do a lot of things it never does.   Today we all have air conditioning which actually causes us to use more electricity because of Daylight Savings Time's longer days.  I guess if your a businessman it gives you more time to sell crap to people so that might be a positive.  Besides, the last time I lit a candle I  probably used it to light a joint of Reefer  and never thought of the money I might be saving.  Any savings I might have made surely went to pay for that joint.
     I'm not a fan of Daylight Savings Time, it's a colossal waste of time and energy.  All the springing forward and falling back is incredibly stupid.  It will take an act of congress to get rid of Daylight Savings time and that's probably not going to happen. .    DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME changes on Sunday.  Don't forget to set your time pieces back one hour.
