As it is getting darker earlier each evening and pondering
the upcoming time change a thought came into my mind.
(Yeah, I know, it's shocking to read that.)  This is the
last full weekend in the northern hemisphere for a full
weekend of Daylight-Saving Time before it ends next
weekend.
 No need to ask if everyone is ready for it as it doesn't
matter, it will happen whether anyone is ready or not.
Here in Nashville, it's even darker than usual at this
time due to it being a cloudy day.  We've had two much
needed showers and it will be a bit cool on Sunday.

Flip-flopping back and forth with the time twice a year doesn't make any sense.  Some think the idea dates back to Benjamin Franklin having to do with the conservation of the use of candles.  Others seem to think it had to do with farmers.  Or conservation of energy during WWI.  It didn't become a Federal law in the U.S. until 1966.  (A few States and U.S. territories are excepted.)  What's the point?  Pick a time and stick with it!
