Kristy's Pick Spring Forward: The annual madness of Daylight Saving
By: Michael Downing

HN 49 .D3 D69 2005
The author ponders the bi-annual happening: "Where we saving daylight when the sunrise was earlier or when it was later? Unclear. When had Americans started to fuss with their clocks? Also unclear. Who saved what when?" As he begins his research into this topic, he says: "The very thought of Daylight Saving Time seemed to give a lot of people a terrible headache, which made them mad, which made them more likely to get up." "It seems like such a simple gesture. Spring forward, fall back. Does anyone know what we are doing?" As for me, I seriously doubt it....
