it means that in about a week spring is officially suppose to arrive. Although it's hard to say if it will, regardless, I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday was the 1st of the year.
Am I the only one to think that way?
I'm not sure how it works for everyone else but our location had our clocks changed to daylight savings. I have no clue what this is truly about so I did some research. Here are some interesting facts about Daylight savings:
- it apparently saves energy. there are studies that prove that all the savings we do during the summer will be wasted when winter rolls around, because consumption of energy during the winter is high. What about AC machines? Won't ppl run them more because of the extra hour?
- changing time results in fewer auto accidents. I know that the first work day AFTER daylight savings is horrible for accidents, even the police say so.
- increases voter turnout. This one makes NO sense at all...
- makes better use of daylight. This one is at the top of my list... I like the long summer nights. =) Their good for stuff and stuffs.
- approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. That seems like a very small number. I know Saskatchewan doesn't do it... but every other province does... I think.
I have to say that personally, daylight savings throws off my internal clock and makes me have a bad sleeping week all together. I'd like to live somewhere where they don't do daylight savings and see if it really makes that much of a difference.
Anyways, I really had nothing else to write about except that SPRING is coming. =)
Have a good weekend.
