Madison County survived the highly controversial debate over daylight-saving time. Now, nearly a year after it was initiated, it is happening again. EDITORIAL: Adding hours of daylight conserves energy.... The only true headache with daylight-saving time appears to be with computers, Blackberries, handheld planners and more. Many have been set to automatically switch on April 1. If you forget to change them, you may end up being an hour late to your destination. Local businesses should have been anticipating the change and made adjustments to their systems to accommodate their customers. Other than those minor glitches, we’ll all survive again. Plus we’ll have that extra day and a half of time to spend with our friends and family enjoying summer. The other PINK meat!

Did you use your extra day and a half this year?

hey, i don't want the HB coming after me ... could you please just use one graf (paragraph) and link to the rest?
I'm sure the letter writer might not mind, but they sent it to the HB, and I'm sure the HB will ... I can't afford to get sued at the moment! ;)
Thanks. I'll check in on it later and change if needed.
Thanks,

CC,
Please explain your comment.

There is no extra day and a half. there are 24 hours in a day. you fall back one hour on one day. then about half a year later you spring forward one hour. Where is even ONE extra hour? if you sleep 8 hours a day,and you are awake 16, you don't gain any more hours, and surely not enough to make a full day and a half. The only extra day that occurs isn't in the 'summer' it's during the winter, and it only happens every 4 years.
If you can't follow my logic though, don't know what to tell you.
CC,
I follow your logic.....chill! We both had the same opinion, I just found it laughable that a 7 member Op Ed board missed it!

We all know the HB does not have a clue and probably really thought they were getting that extra day and half. LOL
LOL I don't need to chill, I was just waiting for someone to tell me I'm wrong. That somehow an extra hour of daylight gives an extra day somehow. Which...yeah right.....if you want to spend an extra day and a half with your family, cut that 8 hours of sleep down to 7 hours for everyone. THEN you might gain some time.
CC,
I wonder if the Op Ed board threw away their calanders this year!
The other PINK meat!
Maybe they didn't have one to begin with, ya think?
