To paraphrase Mark Twain: “Everybody complains about ‘time’ but nobody does anything about it….” There’s nothing anyone can do about it. Time is how we measure our lives. How do I know? Each year I buy an almanac. It knows stuff every writer needs to know.  In one of his most famous cases, Abraham Lincoln was able to discredit the testimony of an eyewitness.  The witness claimed he had seen the crime by the light of the moon. Lincoln produced an almanac that showed the moon had not yet risen. Our concept of Daylight savings dates from WWI. Since that was more than a years ago it may be considered a historic event. It’s never been popular, particularly in rural communities. This is strange because it was envisioned as a “grain saving measure”. Our main problem with so-called DST is twofold first is feature creep we have extended DST on each end. Starting in March instead of April & extending on the other end until after Halloween.
