Sunshine on your shoulder

Sunday marks the switch to daylight saving time for the US. You may be wondering why, exactly, we move the clocks (& watches & VCRs & car clocks & microwaves & electronics of all types) forward. It’s to save energy.

No—really. It’s to save energy.

California’s Department of Energy has a handy-dandy little site explaining all this. You may find it of interest that the clock-changing is one of the offshoots of war, specifically World Wars I & II.

Whatever—enjoy the sunshine later into the day. Summer’s on its way.
