Daylight Savings

This morning was Daylight Savings.. we had to turn our clocks ahead one hour.

What is daylight-saving time?

Daylight-saving time is a system established to reduce energy use by extending daylight hours (clocks are set ahead one hour). This year, daylight-saving time begins at 2 AM on Sunday, March 9, 2008. Daylight-saving time ends at 2 AM on Sunday, November 2, 2008. In the past, daylight-saving time began in April and ended in October. However, an energy bill signed by President George W. Bush on August 8, 2005 extended daylight-saving time as part of a long-term solution to the nation's energy problems. The new law extended daylight-saving time by four weeks; beginning three weeks earlier and ending one week later. Also under the new laws, the entire state of Indiana now observes daylight-saving time. Prior to the new laws, only certain areas of the state observed the time changes.

I don't like losing an hour but I do like Daylight Savings. I enjoy getting out of work at 7pm and it still light outside.

I also had to work today but I did get Friday off to make up the time. Just finished our 10th episode.
