usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- happy monday
For most Americans, the first weekend of April is the time for moving clocks ahead for daylight-saving time. As the year progresses toward the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere gets longer periods of sunlight. Timekeepers came up with daylight-saving time � or summer time, as it�s known in other parts of the world � to shift some of that extra sun time from the early morning (when timekeepers need their shut-eye) to the evening (when they play softball). Not everybody goes along with this plan, as folks in places like Arizona, Hawaii and parts of Indiana know quite well. Each state or country comes up with its own schedule for the switch: This year, many countries went to summer time a week earlier than the United States. And yes, some countries in the Southern Hemisphere are moving their clocks back an hour at this time of year. so the whole daylight savings time seems pretty pointless to me. but then, i'm either at work or at home during that extra hour or so of sunlight in the evening so whatever. i'm just glad that the sun is out in the morning when i get up to go to work and that's all that matters. my throat is still pretty sore this morning and all the left side stuff is still hurty. the lymph nodes on my left side are swollen and icky. we're out of juice, i drank the last of it, so i'm off to the store in just a bit to get some more. i need to go to the post office today to ship a couple of items that sold on ebay and then i plan to spend the day spring cleaning. and i want to wash my car and clean the inside. but it's nice out and sunny and i'm not going to stress myself if i don't get the bathroom spotless or whatever. i'm off and i'm going to enjoy it. well, i'm going to try anyway. toodles 8:02 am - 04 Apr 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
