Sat., Nov. 12, 2016

Do you know anyone who likes changing clocks twice a year (“Spring forward, fall back”)? Do you personally have a clear understanding of the advantages (if any) that are supposed to accrue from making these changes that can be very stressful for many people?

If your answer to these questions is yes, please share your thoughts. If your answer is no, perhaps it is time that we reconsider this measure that was introduced during World War II when its purpose was clearly understood. Please share your thoughts about this, too.
