Fantastic news. I hate Daylight Savings Time. It gets dark way to early. I always thought it had to do with the kids who worked on farms and they needed the extra morning light. Makes much more sense about the candle usage. Thanks for the info.

I agree, Becky. I always enjoyed the DJ in Chicago who, years ago, tried to confuse his listeners every year by offering this “easy-to-remember” saying: “Spring ahead in the fall, fall back in the spring.” Makes about as much sense as the real version, I think. : )

YES! I knew it! DST never made sense to me, between turning the lights on as soon as I walk in the door and the messing with my internal clock.
