Daylight Saving Time
April 3rd, 2005
Today was the start of daylight savings time, a fact that I seemed to have forgotten. While I was setting the various clocks in our home I was struck by a thought - why the hell do we bother with this at all? No one I know really seems to know why, instead they all have these rather vague notions about how the practice started. The Wikipedia entry on the subject is also sketchy about its origins.
