Hi All,You might realize this - or you might not...tomorrow morning at 2am is the 'official' start of Daylight Saving Time. Click here for a bit of history regarding Daylight Saving Time . I'll use 'DST' hereafter in this blog entry to save typing and time.
Click on this link from the LA Times to learn a bit about some health and survival tips regarding DST. Go figure.
Also, this link from National Geographic has a good article entitled, 'Daylight Saving Time 2012: Why and When Does It Begin?" The article gives a nice brief background on DST and its history.
And if you click on this link from Wikipedia, you'll learn more than you ever needed to know about DST. Enjoy!
And while you are moving your clocks ahead tonight, you might want to check the batteries in all of your smoke alarms at home. Click here for a link to just this topic from a Kansas City television station. The source might be half a continent away, but the message is the same: change the batteries on your smoke alarms!
And remember, while we might lose an hour of sleep each night, we now get to enjoy an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day! No more coming home from work in the dark!!!

Stu
