Dont' for get to set your clocks ahead one hour Sunday morning at 2:00 am. Daylight Savings Time Springs Forward!
Some might asked how did this concept begin and why? It is found that the practice dates back to as far as 18th Century Rome.
However our own Benjamin Franklin author of the proverb "Early to bed, early to rise, makes us healthy, wealthy, and wise, suggest to the Parisians that they should economize on the concept because people would buy more candles to use in their early morning business.
Modern DST was proposed in 1895 by George Vernon Hudson a New Zealand entomologist and has taken on different forms through out the world.
Daylight Savings in the United States was first observed in 1918. Most areas of the United States currently observe daylight saving time, with the exceptions being the states of Arizona and Hawaii along with the territories of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
By the Energy Policy Act of 2005, daylight saving time (DST) was extended in the United States in 2007. DST starts on the second Sunday of March, which is three or four weeks earlier than in the past, and it ends on the first Sunday of November, one week later than in years past. This change resulted in a new DST period that is four weeks (five in years when March has five Sundays) longer than in previous years.
Its good for business and good for pleasure. Extending the summer hours to encourage us to make the most of our day.
